Metaphores 2

It might be said that the origin of metaphores relies on the fundamental blocks of language: space, force, agency and causation. These four bricks can be explained from an evolutionary view, but other than that it has been proven hard to assess why the human mind is adapted to think more abstrusely. Steven Pinker says that we can hardly get rid of our metaphorical minds, even if we try. Pinker acknowledges that by trying to escape one level of metaphors, we bump into another one. Say mathematics. Galileo wrote that “the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics; without its help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it”.
Little has been said on the creative nature of metaphores: on developing metaphores, we find new things. Say poetry, painting, etcetera. It is not the poetry or the painting by themselves that have been created, but a whole new stage to understand the world.
