The article examines a possible connection between metaphor and cognition. In his article "Peirce and The Interaction View of metaphor," author Carl R. Hausman said that philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce had no theory of metaphor and provided only a few explicit remarks about the topic. He also said that even if a metaphor is one out of three possibilities by which a symbol can emerge, it takes up a prominent place among these. According to the article, if a metaphor can have a cognition creating function, its meaning is not constituted independently of the body's meeting with the world.
