The language of science : a study of the relationship between literature and science in the perspective of a hermeneutical ontology, with a case study of Darwin's The origin of species Bulhof, Ilse Nina 1992 Brill's studies in intellectual history, 0920-8607 ( Serie ) Leiden ; New York : E.J. Brill 9789004246836 Abstract

Using Darwin's The Origin of Species as a casepoint, this book shows that the language of scientists does remain language and that a skilful use of its rhetorical and poetic aspects often determines the 'facts' and the transmission of information.
