Novelty in Metaphors
A Semiotic Approach to the Creativity of Mind and Emotions
Overview

Moving beyond traditional frameworks, it examines metaphor as a mode of creative discovery where meaning emerges through the interplay of perception, emotion, and imagination.
Theoretical Foundations
Drawing on Peirce's semiotics, phenomenology, and neuroscience, the book demonstrates how metaphorical thinking enables navigation of ambiguity and creates new perspectives across domains, from art and literature to science and everyday reasoning.
Key Concepts
By integrating embodied cognition with aesthetic experience, it illuminates how metaphors operate at the intersection of logical reasoning and emotional response, revealing them as instruments of inquiry that transform engagement with reality.
Audience
The volume will be essential reading for scholars across disciplines seeking to understand the creative foundations of human cognition and meaning-making.
