Title: masterful but where is Freud?
Review: Reviews below pointed out two prominent philosophers the authors have neglected. But I think the biggest omission is the late Freud, whose concept of a "bodily ego" is remarkably similar to the views presented here. Moreover Freud's work in dream interpretation, though rather naive, also anticipates Lakoff and Johnson. Before these authors, the father of psychoanalysis was the only thinker to take seriously the metaphorical nature of thought. But of course there's much that is original in this book, particularly the extensive critique of western philosophy. Chomsky and Quine have indeed retired . . .
