Taken from Penguin Books, 1992; 625 pages.  Key Conceptual Metaphors: MAN IS LEVIATHON; THE WORLD THE WHALE

Speaking of animals and the law, I know of no where else to first turn but Melville:

A conservative Christian family member recently sent me Ravi Zacharias&#8217;s book The End of Reason: A Response to the New Atheists (2008) and asked that I offer a reply.  The following is my reply.

Mid-stream, the article modestly notes Lakoff&#8217;s memorable contribution to the intellectual history of the 20th century:
