Bulhof, Ilse N.

The language of science a study of the relationship between literature and science in the perspective of a hermeneutical ontology. With a case study of Darwin's The origin of species

Leiden, New York & Köln, E.J. Brill, 1992. VI,207 pp. Orig. hardcover (blind stamped burgundy red cloth with gilt lettering), d./j. 8vo. - Two small light waterstains on front cover. (Brill's Studies in Intellectural History 34). The existence of a separation between science and literature has long been taken for granted. This study shows that in science language functions in very much the same way as in literature: it is rhetorical in that it persuades readers to the author's point of view, and it is poetical in that with its metaphors and other figures of speech it shapes the experience of author and reader. The separation between science and literature proves to be untenable. This has important ontological implications: science can no longer be considered an action performed by a speaking subject on a mute object. Does the creative role of language in science mean that human beings 'create' the world? The author emphatically rejects a conclusion which would degrade nature to mere malleable material at the mercy of human beings. A hermeneutical model for the relationship between knower and known is suggested: creative interaction between reader and text. The reader's responses actualise a text's meaning; in like manner, scientists give their responses to reality by actualising one of many possibilities. The hermeneutical ontology proposed in this book steers away from the rocks of realism and anti-realism. Publisher's new price: € 144.95

PARSONS (James):

Philosophical Observations on the Analogy between the Propagation of Animals and that of Vegetables: In which are answered Some Objections against the Indivisibility of the Soul, which have been inadvertently drawn from the late curious and useful Experiments upon the Polypus and other Animals. With An Explanation of the Manner in which each Piece of a divided Polypus becomes another perfect Animal of the same Species.

London: Printed for C. Davis..., 1752. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. xvi, 276 [277 - 288 Index], folding engraved plate, contemporary sheepskin, rebacked, red morocco label; fold on plate repaired, gathering "L" slightly sprung, binding a little worn, with corners rubbed. Parsons (1705 - 1770) is well-known for his medical treatises as well as his book on European languages, Remains of Japhet (1767). Here he argues for a uniformity of structure and reproduction between animals and vegetables. He also asserts that "Man...[is] the most perfect and noble of the whole Creation...." Perhaps the most interesting part of the above work is his sixth chapter, wherein he considers the happiness of man, his future state, and the derivation of moral law, which Parsons attributes to human consciousness of pain and pleasure as well as the "animating Principle in Man" which is "separable from the Organization in which it dwells." Infants and idiots may not have reason and sense, but they have the same "animating Principle": "I am inclined to think, that both Infants and Idiots have [Reason and Sense] in the same Perfection with the most brilliant Philosophers, Poets, or Orators in the World; however defective and incapable their Organizations may be."
