George Lakoff is a prominent American cognitive linguist and philosopher recognized for his conceptual metaphor thesis, which delves into how individuals are influenced by the metaphors they employ to describe intricate concepts. His collaborative work with Mark Johnson in the book Metaphors We Live By has made a significant impact in various academic fields such as politics, literature, philosophy, and mathematics. Lakoff has also extended his theories to address sociopolitical matters, specifically in his examination of conservative and liberal voter behaviors. He has been actively engaged with progressive think tanks and held a professorial role at the University of California, Berkeley.
