Lakoff and Johnson explain that metaphor is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. In this updated edition of Lakoff and Johnson's influential book Metaphors We Live By, the authors supply an afterword surveying how their theory of metaphor has developed within the cognitive sciences to become central to the contemporary understanding of cognition and linguistics.
