Theory of metaphor and aspect seeing

Original language description

The present paper aims at elucidating the conceptual architecture of Marcus B. Hester&apos;s theory of metaphor. This theory is fundamentally based on Ludwig Wittgenstein&apos;s analysis of aspect perception (as appeared in the eleventh section of his Philosophical Investigations). On the one hand, Hester&apos;s theory is worth noticing for the emphasis it gives to imagination (or quasi-perceptual experience) in the process of appreciating metaphorical statements; on the other hand, however, it does not properly interpret the chosen Wittgensteinian inspiration. Its main shortcoming, as I try to show, is that Hester does not pay adequate attention to Wittgenstein&apos;s distinction between the experience of noticing an aspect (so called &quot;aspect-dawning&quot;) and continuous aspect perception. This flaw then results in such an account of metaphor that actually does not make room for aesthetic value of metaphorical statements. Such a result would be unacceptable for Hester himself, since poetic metaphor was in the centre of his attention, but the problematic assumptions responsible for it went unnoticed by him.
