In this podcast, we look at the way that metaphors confirm our experiences and expand our understandings and beliefs. Some sources may help to guide your thinking around these issues. The main ones I've consulted are: George Lakoff and Mark Johnson's "Metaphors We Live By," James Geary's "I is the Other: The Hidden Life of Metaphor," Douglas Hofstadter and Emmanuel Sander's (insanely good but alarmingly detailed) "Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking, and (on the theological front) Sallie McFague's provocative "Metaphorical Theology."
