Description

The Semantics of Science presents a groundbreaking examination of how language shapes scientific thought and discourse. Roy Harris challenges conventional understandings by arguing that supercategories like science, art, religion and history are fundamentally verbal constructs dependent on linguistic frameworks. Rather than treating science as a monolithic entity, Harris demonstrates how attention to linguistic processes reveals the development and function of scientific discourse. His approach shows how supercategories serve to integrate otherwise separate activities and enquiries into cohesive systems. This work by Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd. offers scholars, linguists and philosophy of science students a fresh perspective on the relationship between language and scientific knowledge, questioning foundational assumptions about how we construct and communicate scientific understanding.
