Abstract

We argue that Welby misconstrues both the a-priori nature of formal logic and the need to understand it through metaphor. The writings of logicians since Aristotle illustrate that although Logic in itself is not metaphoric, we can learn about it only within the empirical world of imagery in which we live. It is argued that even logic itself cannot be defined without the use of commonplace images.

Keywords: logic; metaphor; imagery; a-priori; history
