In The Rule of Metaphor this intellectual giant of our age seeks 'to show howlanguage can extend itself to its very limits, forever discovering new resonances within itself.' Recognizing the fundamental power of language in constructing the world we perceive, Ricoeur reveals the processes by which linguistic imagination creates and recreates meaning through metaphor. Taking further his acclaimed analysis of the powerof myth and symbol, Ricoeur invites us to explore the many layers of language in order to rediscover what that meaning might be.A fruitful and insightful study of how language affects our understanding of the world, this book is also an indispensable work for all those seeking some kind of meaning in uncertain times."--BOOK JACKET.
