摘要
词语的隐喻意义通常不是词语的常规意义。同样的语句可以被理解作隐喻,也可以被理解作谎言,但两者的区别在于隐喻正确表达了说话者的认识。富于认识论价值的隐喻并不简单地表述先在的相似性,而是通过创造相似性而成为人类认识真理的重要方式。随着人类社会和科学探索向纵深发展,隐喻性思维越来越成为人类扩展自身知识范围必不可少的工具。
Usually metaphorical meanings of a word is not interpreted as its regular meanings. The same sentence may be understood as a metaphor or a lie, the difference between which is that the former is a correct implication of the speaker. Metaphors with epistemological value are not a statement of preexisted similarity but a way to discover truth by creating similarity. With development of human society and science, metaphors are becoming an increas- ingly important epistemological tool.
