This is an intensely ambitious and assertive
book. The examples are wide-ranging, the
arguments firmly wrought
. .
.It ban impres¬
sive contribution to a rapidly changing intel¬
lectual field. As a reader I have relished the
challenge it mounts.

Is scientific theory really just a matter of
persuasion? Do scientists merely invent rather
than discover? Indeed, do brute facts of nature
gain meaning only within a rhetorical context?
Alan Gross s boldly innovative book seeks
answers to such stirring questions about the
truth of science and the nature of truth.
Gross applies the principles of rhetoric to the
interpretation of classical and contemporary
scientific texts to show how they persuade
both author and audience. This invigorating
consideration of the way in which scientists
—
from Copernicus to Darwin to Newton to
James Watson
—
establish authority and con¬
vince each other and us of the truth they
describe may very well lead to a remodeling
of our understanding of science and its place
in society.
History, philosophy, and sociology are the
academic disciplines that have traditionally
focused on the sciences. The rhetoric of sci¬
ence differs from them in that it sees scientific
knowledge not only as speculative but also
as practical. The theories expounded in Origin
of Species, for example, are speculative
knowledge. From a rhetorical point of view,
however, they are also practical knowledge,
since Darwin used them to persuade fellow
biologists to reconstitute their field.
Alan Gross is thoroughly versed in many of
the scientific controversies he examines, and
his argument is not one that seeks to denigrate
the field. Rather, he deepens our under¬
standing of science by demonstrating how its
language works. The provocative notions
sprinkled throughout this book will prompt
discussion among scholars of various stripes,
particularly those in speech, philosophy,
English, history of science, science studies,
and science itself.
Alan G. Gross is Professor of English at
Purdue University Calumet.
