Abstract

This article studies the role played by metaphor in the understanding and communication of transcendental truths. The theme was not only touched upon by C. S. Lewis in his apologetical and literary-critical works; it constituted, rather, the heart of his thinking. For if reality is radically a mystery (the mystery of God and the mystery of man), then metaphorical knowledge beco mes the necessary foundation of all human knowledge, and metaphor the supreme form of communication.
