隐喻边界的延伸

The Extension of Metaphor's Boundaries

从语言学到哲学再到科学,隐喻沿着人类的指引一次次延伸着自己的边界。语言学中的诗学和文学隐喻、哲学中的隐喻和真理以及科学隐喻和科学疆域的互动延伸,这些都使隐喻边界得到拓展。隐喻边界的每一次延伸实质上都是人类智慧的自我超越和创生。

From linguistics to philosophy then to the science, under the guidelines of the human being, metaphor repeatedly has ex- tended its own boundaries. All the metaphors of poetry and literature in linguistics, the truth and the metaphors in philosophy, together with the interactive extension of scientific boundaries, have extended and developed the metaphorical boundaries in turn. Every extension of metaphor＇s boundary is essentially self-transcendence of human wisdom.
