Abstract

Alluding to a passage in Plato’s Philebus Paul Ricoeur remarks, "Philosophy’s eminence lies in the art of arranging ordered manifolds". Whatever its general pertinence, this comment certainly applies to Ricoeur’s own work. The Rule of Metaphor, expertly translated from La métaphore vive, presents a multi-faceted approach to problems of metaphor and meaning that justifies the subtitle yet also manages to build up a coherent argument from ideas drawn from a wide variety of sources in philosophy and linguistics.
