A wider community for enquiry
Where metaphor, mind and meaning meet.
The Metaphor Society brings together people interested in how metaphor and symbolic thought shape human experience—across psychology, therapy, language, culture, art and embodied cognition.
Explore and participate
Follow metaphor beyond one model or discipline.
The Society examines metaphor as more than decorative language. Expressions such as being stuck, carrying a burden, reaching a crossroads or finding a way forward can reveal how experience is organised through space, movement, force, position and relationship.
