Visual analogy
consciousness as the art of connecting
by Barbara Maria Stafford
- 1 Want to read
"Recuperating a topic once central to philosophy, theology, rhetoric, and aesthetics, this book explores the discovery of sameness in otherness. Analogy poses an intriguingly ancient and modern conundrum. How, in the face of cultural diversity, can a unique someone or something be perceived as like what it is not?
This book is for anyone puzzled by why today, as Barbara Maria Stafford claims, "we possess no language for talking about resemblance, only an exaggerated awareness of difference." Well-designed images, Stafford argues, reveal the mind's intuitive leaps to connect known with unknown experience."--BOOK JACKET.
