Sandra Becker, Prof,a Vera e colegas,

Sandra,

Obrigado por distinguir-me com sua aten��o e pelos coment�rios pertinentes que voc� fez. Por�m, h� algumas passagens intrigantes que apontam (para?) uma mudan�a, pelo menos de �nfase, na cr�tica ao pensamento filos�fico ocidental.

Sen�o, vejamos:
Apresentando a �The It�s all Metaphor Position� est� dito: Actually there are two importantly different positions to be isolated: a strong position and a weak position. Respectivamente,
the strong position: �Every aspect of every concept is completely understoood via metaphor�
e the weak position: �Every linguistic expression expresses a concept that is, at least in some aspect, understood via methaphor.�.p. 133/4

�What is particularly interesting about the weak positoin is that it shows how important it is to distinguissh concepts from expressions in a language when discussing metaphor. On the weak position, it could be true that a very large number of concepts are not unerstood via metaphor, and at same time it could also be true that every linguistic expression of every langauge is undertood via metaphor, at least in part.� P. 134.
�We take no stand on the weak position. On empirical grounds, all that we are in positon to maintain on this issue is that at least some aspects of a great many concepts and conventinal linguistic exprtessions are metaphorical. (...) the strong positon is another matter. It seems false. (...) In saying that these concepts like plants and departures are at least partly understood on their on terms and not metaphorically, we mean exactly that we have no evidence that any of them is conventionally, automatically, and unconsciously understoood in terms of some completelly different conceptual domain.(...).�p. 135.

Finalmente, a �ltima parte (Metaphor Research as na Empirical Enterprise) �(...) The claims we put forward are open to empirical corroboration or invalidation.(...)

Parece-me que este texto de Lakoff em dupla com Turner � menos mais prudente na cr�tica � filosofia ocidental como um todo, distinguindo claramente o campo da ling��stica (ci�ncia experimental, � claro, experimental dentro dos par�metros das ci�ncias sociais) daquele pr�prio da Filosofia, a que o empirismo (principalmente na vertente positivista) d� apenas status de cr�tica do m�todo, ou seja, a filosofia parece ficar reduzida � metodologia das ci�ncias. De qualquer modo, a met�fora pode ter um estudo emp�rico a ser feito pela Ling��stica, o que n�o exclui que ela possa ser examinada, a luz tamb�m dos resultados dessas e de outras pesquisas da Ling��stica, ainda que apenas do ponto de vista gnosiol�gico (ou epistemol�gico), pela Filosofia.
Um abra�o a todos, Pedro
