"All of us, at one time or another, are inclined to think of the mind as an inner landscape, a more or less mysterious region which needs to be explored and mapped."
Metaphor in Context
Having thus delimited the psyche, let us set it aside for the moment to concentrate on the mind. All of us, at one time or another, are inclined to think of the mind as an inner landscape, a more or less mysterious region which needs to be explored and mapped. In this chapter I wish to evaluate philosophically this metaphor: to ask whether, in prosaic truth, there is an inner region within each of us for us to explore. (p. 19)
