Harwood Fisher argues against neuroscientific and cognitive scientific explanations of mental states, which fail to account for the gaps between actions in the brain, cognitive operations, linguistic mapping, and a person's account of experience. Utilizing an array of thought ranging from the primitive and the dream to the artistic figure of speech, and extending to the scientific metaphor; Fisher draws on first-person methodologies to restore the conscious self to a primary function in the generation of figurative images. He uses the self to mediate between trope and logical form-and, conversely, to explicate the creation and articulation of the self by means of an interplay between logic and icon. According to Fisher, the self is neither a discursive agent of postmodern linguistics nor a socially determined entity. Rather, it is a historically situated, constituted place at the crossroads of conscious and unconscious actions and evolving contextual logics and figures.
