Engineering can learn from ethics, but ethics can also learn from engineering. In this paper, I discuss what engineering metaphors can teach us about practical philosophy. Using metaphors such as calculation, performance, and open source, I articulate two opposing views of morality and politics: one that relies on images related to engineering as science and one that draws on images of engineer...

Abstract An influential view in (philosophy of) cognitive science is that computation systems semantic, conceptually depending on representation: to compute manipulate representations.

We present and evaluate an approach to the reasoning needed to handle a broad class of metaphorical utterances, and a computer program (ATT-Meta) partially implementing and further specifying that approach. The approach emanates from artificial intelligence but is offered also for consideration by cognitive scientists generally. The utterances of interest are ones that (a) rest on conceptual me...

Here, the language user takes a number of steps in order to perform a complex task. Semantic strategies in prejudiced talk have been examined extensively in western ...

Der Artikel stellt den Zusammenhang zwischen Körpermetaphorik und der EmbodimentThese in Frage. Als erstes werde ich einige Gründe für die Unklarheiten im Gebrauch des Begriffs „embodiment“ (wie auch „embodied mind“ und „embodied cognition“) darlegen und zeigen, wie weit oder wie eng eine für die Kognitive Linguistik fruchtbare Definition sein sollte. Als zweites werde ich nach dem Status einer...
