Objects of metaphor

---

The only reasonable response to the philosophical literature on metaphor is one of despair. This is not because what
one finds there is bad; far from it. Though I don't think that anyone is quite right about metaphor, very few writers are
simply wrong. Nor is the despair grounded on the sheer volume of the literature and its almost exponential increase in
recent years. To be sure, if you thought you could get some gripon it in a weekend, a week, or even a month, the
impossibility of this might well depress you. But of course such volume is also a sign of health in an area of
investigation. It is certainly not a reasonable ground for desperation.
