In this second edition of Steve Fuller's original work Philosophy,
Rhetoric, and the End of Knowledge: A New Beginning for Science and
Technology Studies, James Collier joins Fuller in developing an
updated and accessible version of Fuller's classic volume. The new
edition shifts focus slightly to balance the discussions of theory
and practice, and the writing style is oriented to advanced
students. It addresses the contemporary problems of knowledge to
develop the basis for a more publicly accountable science. The
resources of social epistemology are deployed to provide a positive
agenda of research, teaching, and political action designed to
bring out the best in both the ancient discipline of rhetoric and
the emerging field of science and technology studies (STS). The
authors reclaim and integrate STS and rhetoric to explore the
problems of knowledge as a social process--problems of increasing
public interest that extend beyond traditional disciplinary
resources. In so doing, the differences among disciplines must be
questioned (the exercise of STS) and the disciplinary boundaries
must be renegotiated (the exercise of rhetoric). This book
innovatively integrates a sophisticated theoretical approach to the
social processes of creating knowledge with a developing
pedagogical apparatus. The thought questions at the end of each
chapter, the postscript, and the appendix allow the reader to
actively engage the text in order to discuss and apply its
theoretical insights. Creating new standards for interdisciplinary
scholarship and communication, the authors bring numerous
disciplines into conversation in formulating a new kind of rhetoric
geared toward greater democratic participation in the
knowledge-making process. This volume is intended for students and
scholars in rhetoric of science, science studies, philosophy, and
communication, and will be of interest in English, sociology, and
knowledge management arenas as well.
