More about the book
Exploring the intersection of philosophy and cognitive science, this book introduces fresh foundations for philosophical therapy, building on Wittgenstein's pioneering work. It examines how unconscious metaphors and images influence philosophical thought, leading to misapplications and misunderstandings. Through innovative case studies on classical issues related to the mind and perception, as well as analyses of philosophers like Locke, Berkeley, and Ayer, it reveals how ingrained thought patterns can create misleading intuitions and philosophical delusions.
