The result of this approach is not only that metaphors are researched from within a new perspective, but also that the relation between metaphor and rationality is reviewed to the extent that it is demonstrated that rationality and even reality show a metaphorical structure at times.16 pagesPDFAfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaFoucaultDerrida, Jacques, 1930-2004HabermasLyotardWelschMetaphorRealityArticle
