Labour and Capital blog response
Posted on: April 14, 2009
This blog starts off by saying “It’s one of those books that manages to crystallize half-thought-out ideas and insights that you have but never really manage to develop. And once you get your head around the central ideas you can see how applicable these are in many different bits of the world.” When I first read this, I was wowed because it is so true. This book is successful in commenting on the idea that metaphors are much more than just a figure of speech. It highlights that they permeate throughout society and have a major influence on ones perception. Metaphors are complex, they are grounded in experience and can have different meanings depending on the way the person intended to use them.
