PROBLEM OF METAPHOR: LOCKE, NIETZSCHE, DERRIDA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since metaphorical speech represents an inspiring topic for philosophical research it was an object of inquiry for numerous philosophers. This paper examines two different approaches to the subject. On the one hand, we scrutinize Locke's Essays and display its traditional-metaphysical understanding of metaphor. On the other hand, we contrast Locke's view with the one that Nietzsche develops in his early essay On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense. We will try to show that Nietzsche's standpoint reverses the traditional metaphysical image (of the work of metaphor), thus allowing contemporary considerations on metaphor. Derrida's White Mythology will serve as an underlying interpretation that indicates the inherent supplementarity of metaphor and signification in general.
