Continuum The Semantics of Science by Continuum - Language Study Book

Explore a radical rethinking of scientific discourse with The Semantics of Science. In this work, Roy Harris presents a unique perspective on how we understand the world through language. He argues that major supercategories like science, art, religion, and history are verbal constructs that depend entirely on the language used to define them. Because every supercategory is built differently, this book examines the linguistic processes that allow a discourse like science to develop. By studying these patterns, readers can see how these categories function to integrate various activities and inquiries that might otherwise remain separate. This text provides a deep look into the relationship between language and the structures of human knowledge, making it a significant read for those interested in the foundations of scientific thought.
