• Resumen

  • This response indulges in a bit of historical purism about “science”, which fares no better than the “rhetoric” end of “rhetoric of science.” Contrary to what the rhetorical purists claim, science would seem to be an eminent site for the practice (and study) of rhetoric. Increasingly, rhetoricians of science position themselves as rhetorical agents interested in not merely interpreting, but in actually changing the practices of their audiences.
