Editorial Review Product Description "Their ambition is massive, their argument important.…Theauthors engage in a sort of metaphorical genome project, attempting todelineate the genetic code of human thought."-The New York TimesBook Review "This book will be an instant academic best-seller."-Mark Turner,University of Maryland This is philosophy as it has never been seen before. Lakoff andJohnson show that a philosophy responsible to the science of the mindoffers a radically new and detailed understandings of what a personis. After first describing the philosophical stance that must followfrom taking cognitive science seriously, they re-examine the basicconcepts of the mind, time, causation, morality, and the self; thenthey rethink a host of philosophical traditions, from the classicalGreeks through Kantian morality through modern analytical philosophy. Parts of Philosophy in the Flesh retrace the ground covered inthe authors' earlier Metaphors We LiveBy, which revealed how we deal with abstract concepts throughmetaphor. (The previous sentence, for example, relies on the metaphors"Knowledge is a place" and "Knowing is seeing" to make its point.)Here they reveal the metaphorical underpinnings of basic philosophicalconcepts like time, causality--even morality--demonstrating how thesemetaphors are rooted in our embodied experiences. They reproposephilosophy as an attempt to perfect such conceptual metaphors so thatwe can understand how our thought processes shape our experience; theyeven make a tentative effort toward rescuing spirituality from theheavy blows dealt by the disproving of the disembodied mind or "soul"by reimagining "transcendence" as "imaginative empathetic projection."Their source list is helpfully arranged by subject matter, making iteasier to follow up on their citations. If you enjoyed the mentalworkout from Steven Pinker's How the MindWorks, Lakoff and Johnson will, to pursue the "Learning isexercise" metaphor, take you to the next level of training. --RonHogan Customer Reviews (41)

Editorial Review Product Description Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland has fascinated children and adults alike for generations. Why does Lewis Carroll introduce us to such oddities as blue caterpillars who smoke hookahs, cats whose grins remain after their heads have faded away, and a White Queen who lives backwards and remembers forwards? Is it all just nonsense? Was Carroll under the influence? This book probes the deeper underlying meaning in the Alice books, and reveals a world rich with philosophical life lessons. Tapping into some of the greatest philosophical minds that ever lived?Aristotle, Hume, Hobbes, and Nietzsche?Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy explores life?s ultimate questions through the eyes of perhaps the most endearing heroine in all of literature. Accessible and entertaining, Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy will enrich your experience of Alice's timeless adventures with new meaning and fun. Customer Reviews (12)
