Prof. Mark Johnson

Professor Mark Johnson is a renowned cognitive scientist and philosopher, noted for his work on the relationship between language, thought, and human experience. His research explores how metaphors shape our understanding of the world and influence our perceptions. Johnson is also known for his collaboration with linguist George Lakoff, particularly in their book "Metaphors We Live By," which argues that everyday language is deeply influenced by metaphorical concepts. His contributions enhance our understanding of how language not only reflects but also shapes our understanding of emotions, ideas, and interactions in daily life.
