A Psychohistory of Metaphors: Envisioning Time, Space, and Self through the Centuries

How have figures of speech configured new concepts of time, space, and mind throughout history? Brian J.\n\nMc Veigh answers this question in A Psychohistory of Metaphors: Envisioning Time, Space, and Self through the Centuries by exploring �meta-framing:� our ever-increasing capability to �step back� from the environment, search out its familiar features to explain the unfamiliar, and generate �as if� forms of knowledge and metaphors of location and vision. This book demonstrates how analogizing and abstracting have altered spatio-visual perceptions, expanding our introspective capabilities and allowing us to adapt to changing social circumstances.
