Wondering if you could point to any resources regarding "basic structures of universal metaphors and kinesthetic image schemas in embodied cognition" mentioned in the post ?
Thank you, I really appreciate everything you have written and shared throughout the years!
Hi Theresia! What I had just read back then and was referring to were some of the works of Lakoff and Johnson. I’d start with “Metaphors We Live By” and then read “Women, Fire and Dangerous Things”. Those also have tons of references if you want to go deeper, but especially the latter has a pretty good literature review in the first half. Thanks for reaching out! Hope that helps.
Hi Stefan, decided to reach out here as Substack is where you seem to be most active these days.
I was reading your essay: https://stefan-lesser.com/2020/10/27/how-to-adopt-christopher-alexanders-ideas-in-the-software-industry/
