The book "Metaphors We Live By" by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson explores how everyday language is full of metaphors that shape our thoughts and perceptions. These metaphors are not just fancy literary devices, but fundamental ways we understand the world. The authors show how these metaphors influence the way we communicate and think, revealing insights into the human mind. Through a blend of linguistics and philosophy, they offer a unique perspective on the power of metaphors in shaping our understanding of reality.
