Yob, Iris M.
Studies in Philosophy and Education, v22n2 p127-138 Mar 2003
Describes Thayer-Bacon's book on metaphors and explores the role of metaphor in constructive thinking. Provides an in depth analysis of Thayer-Bacon's quilting bee metaphor and how it takes the organization, structures, entities, and forces of a literal quilting bee and applies them to the realm of learning. Concludes that Thayer-Bacon's metaphorical analogy approaches literal analogy. (MZ)
