the limits of metaphor

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Mon, 04/30/2007 - 9:07pm.

Flora just sent me a Boston Globe article called "Hearts and Minds" (about the role of emotion in cognition). It says, in part, that "from its inception, the cognitive revolution was guided by a metaphor: the mind is like a computer....But the computer metaphor was misleading....The new science of emotion has brought a new conception of what it means to think...a rediscovery of the unconscious."
