See, Hear, Taste. Sensory Metaphors and Their Use before and in Paracelsianism
Original language description
This paper discusses and tentatively contextualises the use of sensory metaphors in 16th- and 17th-century Paracelsianism, mainly the metaphor of taste. Before turning to Paracelsus, Weigel and Khunrath, it begins with the more general question of why sight became the main sensory metaphor in Western thought, especially in Platonism. It had an influence on Christian thought but metaphors of taste also played an important role in the Bible, in medieval mysticism and beyond. The later approach to sensory metaphors is exemplified in two 15th-century authors, Cusanus and Ficino. The Lutheran emphasis on hearing as a major cognitive metaphor is then discussed. Finally, it is hypothesized that the rejection of figurative language in 17th-century Cartesianism and empiricism may have been rather a removal of non-visual metaphors.
