Abstract
The title of the present volume, The Metaphors of Consciousness, suggests two major concerns of present-day scientific psychology. The first is the new interest in the once vanquished phenomenon of consciousness in its multiple manifestations. The second is an enhanced awareness that psychology and empirical science are not simply a gathering of facts. Theories of consciousness—even the most objective, scientific, and physicalistic—are in some sense metaphoric, taking the constructs and findings we have in hand and using them, through a creative stretching of their original meaning, to gesture toward a broader vision of the conscious human being and his or her experienced reality.
