Rhetoric of science
open-in-new
<p>Rhetoric of science is a body of <a href="/facts/Academic_publishing/WfPqsYr1">scholarly literature</a> exploring the notion that the practice of <a href="/facts/Science/IJoaD7rs">science</a> is a <a href="/facts/Rhetoric/mB9np26l">rhetorical</a> activity. It emerged after a number of similarly oriented topics of research and discussion during the late 20th century, including the <a href="/facts/Sociology_of_scientific_knowledge/WWKlHN8A">sociology of scientific knowledge</a>, <a href="/facts/History_of_science/pdBLPwP0">history of science</a>, and <a href="/facts/Philosophy_of_science/aonsfhTY">philosophy of science</a>, but it is practiced most typically by rhetoricians in academic departments of English, speech, and communication. </p>
