Add to basketThis item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Through a transdisciplinary lens, this book offers a unique description of how metaphors inform our conceptual system and shape our world accordingly. Metaphors in action means marking a break from conventional methodologies: observing metaphors as they operate reveals how conceptual mappings serve as interpretive tools, directing perception, limiting reasoning patterns, and either enabling or hindering comprehension in practical situations. This collection guides through an exploration of how metaphors exhibit consistency with the cultural contexts and value systems from which they emerge. We examine metaphor as a 'semantic network', a framework that immediately suggests new pathways for generating alternative ontological possibilities. This book explores the role and significance of metaphors and the landscapes they shape in five disparate fields: philosophy, linguistics, law, health and digital technologies. This volume is an invaluable resource for students and researchers in philosophy, health sciences, psychology, and the digital humanities. 224 pp. Englisch.

Riccardo De Biase was Associate Professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Naples Federico II (Italy). His research activity has covered both the modern (Descartes, Luther) and contemporary fields (Cassirer, Heidegger, Peirce). His main academic interests were related to the Marburg Neo-Kantianismus, the phenomenological dimension of Heidegger’s thought and Cassirer’s interpretation of the history of philosophy, especially in his dialogue with Heidegger. More recently, his research was focused on the Kantian roots of Peirce’s thought to understand Peirce’s pragmatism as a possible heir to the erkenntnistheoretisch problems of criticism. In latest years, he also worked on Digital Humanities. He founded and directed the series of Cassirerian studies Krinein (Federico II University Press) and the critical philosophy journal Pragmata.
