Abstract

Cognitive neurosciences indicate that integration and differentiation are two fundamental properties of conscious experience as well as of the nervous system. The Author analyses Bernstein’s idea of dexterity (1946-47) and Edelman’s idea of degeneracy (2001) in their historical and theoretical context, and suggests that these brain-mind characteristics are at the basis of the neurobiological mechanisms of metaphor creation.
