Common use of Metaphor: towards understanding Clause in Contracts

Metaphor: towards understanding. It has been noted that ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ invokes the metaphor of ‘reading the body in truth’ which will be taken up in this thesis; its application extended. As it is central to both ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’s ‘hermeneutic of gift,’ the fundamental way, says ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, to correctly understand the person, then metaphor as a way of speaking and thinking needs attention. Another issue for this thesis is therefore how it is that metaphor as a strategy, and this metaphor of ‘reading’ in particular, can be fruitful for understanding the body. This is more especially the case as this thesis makes a strong metaphoric claim for the body’s being a poem, and for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ being well thought of as a poem of the Father.
