?ll $u"an beings $ae a largely unconscious, e=tensie syste" of "eta!$oricalt$oug$t. "!ortant !arts of t$at syste" are uniersal t$e rest is culturally s!ecific, andso"eti"es !riate.
&$e dee!est !arts of t$e syste" > t$e 4ri"ary eta!$ors > are learned early in life.
4ri"ary "eta!$ors are !$ysical > neural circuits linking two distinct areas of t$e brain.&$e rest of t$e syste" of "eta!$orical t$oug$t is co"!le= and is built on t$e !ri"ary"eta!$ors. ost of t$e "eta!$ors we use are co"!le=, but get t$eir "eaning ia t$e!ri"ary "eta!$or syste".
eta!$orical t$oug$t is anyt$ing but e=traneous. t is constitutie of t$e way weunderstand our e=!erience.
7ecause t$e syste" "ostly o!erates below t$e leel of consciousness, it went "ostlyunnoticed for oer 2,#(( years of 6estern t$oug$t. Since 0+(, it $as been studied ingreat detail.
eta!$orical t$oug$t begins before language. Linguistic "eta!$ors are e=!ressions of"eta!$orical t$oug$t. eta!$orical t$oug$t goes beyond language. t occurs in gesturein t$e understanding of art in !$iloso!$y in t$e structure of $ig$er "at$e"atics inscience in !olitics > and es!ecially in our understanding > and "isunderstanding >of $u"an relations$i!s and of ourseles.&$e goal of t$is course is to "ake t$e unconscious conscious, to introduce you to dee!c$a"bers of your "ind t$at you cannot see directly, to notice "eta!$orical t$oug$tw$ere it occurs, and to analyAe it in detail.
he Meta$et &ro7ect

. eta!$or analysis at bot$ t$e conce!tual and linguistic leels, like w$at is taug$tin t$is course.
2. ? co"!uteriAed re!ository of bot$ conce!tual and linguistic "eta!$ors, and t$ecascades in w$ic$ t$ey occur.
'. ? !arsing gra""ar t$at can auto"atically analyAe "eta!$orical as well asnon"eta!$orical language.
-. ? statistical engine t$at can discoers linguistic "eta!$ors in a cor!us.#. ?n analytical engine t$at takes as in!ut linguistic "eta!$ors and gies
conce!tual analyses as out!ut.D. E=!eri"ents t$at test our analyses.
n sections and $o"eworks, you will learn to use t$e co"!uter syste" for entering andsearc$ing "eta!$or analyses.
