George Lakoff is a renowned cognitive linguist and philosopher, best known for his work on the nature of human thought and language. He has significantly influenced the fields of linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, particularly through his exploration of how metaphors shape our understanding of the world. Lakoff's theories suggest that our conceptual system is largely metaphorical, which impacts not only our language but also our reasoning and behavior.
