摘要
A dozen essays explore some of the central issues of the rhetoric of science, including the constitution of scientific authority, the role of discursive devices in the production and establishment of scientific knowledge, the production of scientific discourse in the context of contestation and controversy, the interface of the rhetorical with the cognitive and the rational with the probative, and the role rhetorical strategies play in recasting discourse for different audiences.
