Metaphor
"Nowadays one travels around man's skull as if on a globe, to seek and discover places where our perceptions, desires, inclinations, and mental abilities are housed."
Metaphor in Context
The skull proper has become the map, on which, just as an atlas, the regions and localities are circumscribed in which man as in a tiny world, is decribed. Nowadays one travels around man's skull as if on a globe, to seek and discover places where our perceptions, desires, inclinations, and mental abilities are housed.
