TY - JOUR ID - 842080 AU - Mácha, Jakub PY - 2009 TI - Metaphor: Perceiving an Internal Relation JF - Contributions of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society VL - 17 IS - 1 SP - 235 EP - 235 PB - Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society SN - 10223398 KW - metaphor;internal relation;aspect;Wittgenstein UR - http://is.muni.cz/www/3662/Metaphor__internal_relation_scan_.pdf N2 - The problem of metaphor has come to a noteworthy revival in the analytical philosophy of today. Despite all progress that has been made, the majority of important studies consider the function of metaphor as an analogue to visual perception. Such comparison may be conceived as metaphor as well. In his late philosophy, Wittgenstein spent a lot of effort to explain the use of the expression "seeing as". I argue that his explanations can be transposed to the explanation of the function of metaphor. Firstly, it is shown that all earlier attempts to do that are not satisfying. The occurrence of the expression "to see as" in everyday language led Wittgenstein to the elaboration of the notion of "aspect". Primarily these ideas should be employed in order to explain metaphors in everyday or even poetic language. My conclusion is that an internal relation can be perceived and thought of in the metaphor.
