Abstract:

Figurativity has attracted scholars’ attention for thousands of years and yet
there are still open questions concerning its nature. "Figurativity and Human
Ecology" endorses a view of figurativity as ubiquitous in human reasoning and
language, and as a key example of how a human organism and its perceived or
imagined environment co-function as a system. The volume sees figurativity not
only as embedded in an environment but also as a way of acting within that
environment. It places figurativity within an ecological context, and
approaches it as a phenomenon which cuts across bodily, psychological,
linguistic, social, cultural and natural environments. 
"Figurativity and Human Ecology" will appeal to those interested in the
analysis of the all-encompassing creativity of the human mind and in the
methodological difficulties associated with the study of cognition.
