Metaphor in Max Weber's Sociology

Metaphor in Max Weber's Sociology Attempts to erase metaphor from human knowledge face immense challenges, as metaphor is not merely an addition, but a means of thinking and communication. It has therefore spread in discourse to the extent that we can say that knowledge is a metaphor. Scholars have addressed metaphor since Aristotle, but it has recently attracted, under the title "Rhetoric of Science," philosophers of language, epistemologists, philosophically-minded linguists, and cognitive scientists, while numerous studies have solidified this new field, most notably the two books on the rhetoric of science: Issues and Methods.
