Description

Both sides in controversies tend to argue they have logic on their side.

This book proposes that the interminable nature of these controversies suggests there is a problem with the main tool of logic, the syllogism.

An alternative mode of judgment is needed. Drawing on contemporary and classic sources in social theory and philosophy, Stanley raffle argues that metaphors are not just aesthetic tools; they can be used to judge phenomena.

Featuring case studies drawn from both literary material and current controversial debates, The Method of Metaphor ultimately demonstrates the value of this neglected potential of metaphoric reasoning and shows its far-reaching implications in both moral behaviour and moral education.
