Abstract | This paper is part of an extended project exploring the centrality of metaphoric reasoning for understanding 'erotic connectivity' and 'embodied cognition.' I examine the sensory-motor images which structure ontological commitments in (neo) liberal discourses on identity, agency, love, ethics and society. I show that the 'concrete analogies' which structure such ontological beliefs about what objects, entities, relations and processes exist rests on gestalt pattern recognition. |
