Introduction: Metaphysics of Mind and Metaphor
The Self-Evident Mind: The Archaeology of Foucault / The Mind that Speaks / From Metaphysics to Metaphor / Mind as Mirror / The Origin and Coming of Artificial Intelligence
The position that the mind is an "invention".
This book follows how the mind was invented
Foucault's "l'homme" is translated as "man", which of course differs from the Japanese word "human".
It" is "a way of being created by the knowledge forms and institutions of a particular era," so it is naturally different in different languages and cultures.
Concepts based on "human" and "person-to-person" relationships
↔ Heideggerian man living as a lone man.
Similarly, the concept of Mind in the English-speaking world is strongly associated with reason and consciousness, but the ancient Japanese "Kokoro" is not.
Pointing out that philosophy has not eliminated metaphor, that it is not a "logical analysis" but a "projection of images".
If the history of philosophy is not a "history of argumentation" but a "history of metaphor," trace the transition of how metaphors were created and transformed.
The heart is a reflection of the world.
