Literature and the Metaphoric Universe in the Mind by Nicolae Babuts - 2015

Transaction Publishers, 2015. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This is neither a scientific work nor a philosophical treatise, warns Babuts, and though he draws evidence from neuroscience (in particular), philosophy, psychology, cognitive studies, and other disciplines, the foundation of this study is literature. He believes that cognitive writers have neglected literature, particularly the Proustian contribution to the understanding of perception and metaphor. His topics include retrieval and recall, dynamic patterns and metaphors, transfiguring the real, the alpha and omega of love, and the symbolic identity of the real in memory.
