Conceptual Metaphor in Teaching Logic

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the concept of conceptual metaphor and its role in the teaching of logic. Starting from our experience in the teaching of logic to students in human sciences at University of West Britanny and students who take general education courses at various universities in Taiwan and from our research in the field of logic, we defend the point of view according to which the teaching and learning of logic adopts metaphoric devices to adapted students’ previous knowledge.
