Abstract
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.
Abstract (in Czech)
Článek se zabývá analogií mezi konceptem "vidění jako" a metaforou. Wittgensteinovy analýzy slovního spojení "něco vidět jako něco jiného" vedou k formulování důležitého pojmu aspektu či aspektového vidění. Tento specifický druh vidění je třeba hledat v metafoře. Změna aspektu v jiný aspekt znamená vnímání interní relace mezi těmito objekty. Stejně tak může metafora způsobit změnu náhledu na popisovaný objekty a tudíž vést s postřehnutí interní relace mezi ním a tímto náhledem či aspektem.
