Abstract	George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory is a powerful methodological tool that has been used within many academic fields to investigate a wide range of questions concerning human cognition. Conceptual metaphor theory suggests that both our pre-theoretical sense of what it is to know something and our practices of knowledge acquisition will be shaped by whatever conceptual metaphors are at work within our cognitive processes, and that these may differ between cultures. I argue that regarding the natural sciences as extensions of a specific pre-theoretical sense of what it is to know, one that cognitively maps knowing onto the experience of seeing, contributes to an explanation of why modern science emerged in the West rather than in China.
