From two new reviews of Rhetoric and Incommensurability, edited by Randy Harris:
Harris’s book is especially strong for its reminder to rhetoricians
that Kuhn’s notion of the paradigm is not the only source of incommensurability
theory. In tracing the history of incommensurability in both
Feyerabend and in Kuhn’s evolving theory, Rhetoric and Incommensurability
helps to create a productive space of interaction between rhetoric and
incommensurability studies more broadly conceived. Although Rhetoric
and Incommensurability probably will not be the final word on rhetoric of
science and incommensurability studies, it does an excellent job of summing
up recent rhetorically based incommensurability scholarship. Finally, it
expertly integrates research from the allied humanist and social studies of
science while continuously keeping the focus on the rhetorical issues
involved.
