Eva Feder Kittay

    Eva Feder Kittay ist eine herausragende Philosophin, deren Werk sich tiefgründig mit Fragen der Moralphilosophie, Gerechtigkeit und Ungleichheit auseinandersetzt. Sie untersucht, wie Individuen, insbesondere solche mit Abhängigkeiten und kognitiven Unterschieden, in der Gesellschaft verankert sind und welche ethischen Verpflichtungen wir ihnen gegenüber haben. Ihre Analysen beleuchten die Komplexität von Abhängigkeit und betonen die Notwendigkeit inklusiverer gesellschaftlicher Strukturen und moralischer Rahmenbedingungen. Kittay hinterfragt traditionelle philosophische Annahmen und bietet eine eindringliche Perspektive für den Aufbau einer gerechteren und mitfühlenderen Welt.

      A detailed revision and refinement of the "semantic theory of metaphor," this book provides a comprehensive philosophical theory explicating metaphor's cognitive contribution. According to the author, metaphor effects a transference of meaning, not between two terms, but between two structured domains of content, or "semantic fields." Semantic fields, construed as necessary to a theory of word-meaning, provide the contrastive and affinitive relations that govern a term's literal use. In a metaphoric use, these relations are projected into a second domain which is thereby reordered with significant cognitive effects. Amply illustrated with sensitive and systematic analyses of metaphors found in literature, philosophy, science, and quotidian language, this book forges a new understanding of the relation between metaphoric and literal meaning.
