The document discusses the appropriate domain of application for metaphors and similes, providing clear definitions and distinctions between the two. It critiques the conflation of metaphors and similes in literature and philosophy, emphasizing the importance of logic in scientific and philosophical discourse. The author refutes the Neoclassical interpretation of Adam Smith's invisible hand concept, arguing that it is not a metaphor but a straightforward causal statement. The document highlights the significance of using similes and analogies in scientific reasoning and warns against the overuse of metaphors in logical arguments. [Extracted from the article] |
