S3E7 "Bluspels and Flalansferes: A Semantic Nightmare" (Part 1)

In his 1936 essay, "Bluspels and Flalansferes: A Semantic Nightmare" C. S. Lewis, once again, is defending metaphors as valid, useful, valuable, even necessary ways of speaking about reality. He introduces the idea of a "Master's Metaphor" and a "Pupils Metaphor" to explain how metaphors can be tied to our understanding of a concept, but that this is not always the case.
