Summary/Abstract: There has been an ongoing intensive research of the nature of human mind in contemporary cognitive science. The author´s aim is to point out the role of metaphorical language in experimental and theoretical mind studies. The analysis subject is to emphasize heuristic and argumentative function of metaphor in models of cognitive science representatives. Viability of this strategy appears by solving problems reaching beyond the imaginary boundaries of disciplines, f.e. reality-fiction, literal-metaphorical, text understanding, the nature of truth etc. Putting significance on the function of metaphorical language in arts, philosophy and science has become a great challenge for reconsidering traditional approaches to the study of human mind, language, body and reality.
