Writing in Water / Ins Wasser schreiben: Studies in the Epistemology of Metaphor / Studien zur Epistemologie der Metapher
Synopsis
The book contains a collection of historical and systematic studies on metaphors and related topics, in German and English, that were first drafted as initial elaborations of the author's research project on the historical and systematic philosophy of language at the University of Tübingen in two periods (1992–1994 and 1996–1999). About half of the essays have been published before in some form but for this edition they have been improved upon or revised to fit better with the book as a whole. The groundwork for this collection was laid in the mid-1990s by the first review paper, written in Croatian, devoted to the topic.
The papers collected in this volume are only in German and English. Grouped in sections, they do not represent different language versions of the same text but provide individual elaborations of interrelated topics in German or in English. Each begins with different problems of both historical and systematic nature and each ends, hopefully, by contributing new points to their respective topic. As a result, every chapter can be read either as an alternative to the paper it is paired with in the respective section or as a supplement to other texts.
