This is the next in the series of posts I'm doing about Aesthetic and Embodied Perspectives of Theology. Here I'm talking about philosopher Mark Johnson's The Meaning of the Body. Johnson is the co-author, with linguist George Lakoff, of the the pivotal text Metaphors We Live By, which is a foundational piece establishing some of the key ideas in conceptual metaphor.
Info about Kant's Aesthetics is here and here.
