Isti'ārah'hā-yi 'Ilm dar Guftimān'hā-yi Sīyāsī-yi Mu'āṣir-i Īrān: Persian 1403

The higher education system educates human forces that play a vital role in the growth, excellence, and administration of countries. Therefore, wrong policies in this institution cause serious damage to them. Among these policies that have dominated Iran's higher education in recent years is the quantitative-oriented view and commercialization of knowledge. The book Metaphors of Science in Contemporary Political Discourses, written by Dr. Fahima Farazmand, is a pure and innovative study that aims to examine the conceptual metaphors of science in discourse within the framework of Likoff and Johnson's metaphor theory and with the help of the three-step method of critical analysis of metaphor with such a problem-oriented approach. The three presidents of Iran during the years 1399-1376 addressed this issue and answered the question of how each of them viewed "science" and how they conceptualized it with the help of metaphors. Therefore, this book can open a new window for readers interested in higher education issues and conceptual metaphors. Reading this book is beneficial for those interested in linguistics and cognitive sciences, as well as for those interested in education, sociology of science, higher education, university culture, etc.
