The critique of metaphorical reason? - Auguste Nsonsissa - Bog

The research carried out in this book clarifies the nature of the turn and the torments of metaphorical reason. They aim at the establishment of a "metaphorization" of philosophical reasoning. This process of re-evaluating metaphoricity through rational discourse at the frontiers of reason works to decipher the meaning of new languages in the context of postcritical epistemology. But, by articulating theoretical reason and metaphorical reason, such a reflection questions more the meaning of things and pleads for a theory of the holes of unintelligibility that are not so effectively rationalized by the demonstration. Since then, the scientificity of the discourse suggested by the taking into account of the symbolicity in the constructions of the mind is at one with the awareness of the hyper-reality that surrounds us. Thus the new technologies inclined to the "digital humanities" find obviously their audience in the elaboration of an artificial world as being the meta-level of the virtual language that accompanies from now on the computerization of the society exposed paradoxically to the ethical questions of the digital.
