註釋Turbayne analyzes the significance of metaphor in human thought by exploring historical traditions of philosophy. Probing into the early philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, Turbayne traces the influence that Platonic metaphors have held for later important philosophers such as Berkeley and Kant. By showing how modern theories of human thought and language (including the substance and attribute theory) arose from the procreation model as presented in Plato's Timaeus, Turbayne makes a contribution to the current philosophical debates concerning relativist/realist. In the discussion, the author restores the model to its original state in which the female and male hemispheres of the mind work as partners to create our world.
