Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. This book examines scholarly, scientific disourse and studies its relation to practical, everyday discourse, its norms and their formation, and the controversies and innovations within particular disciplines; it focuses on such issues as rationality, impersonality, reflexivity, authority, and dialectic; employing a theory of rationality and argumentation based on the work of Habermas, it addresses the question as to what properties make academic writing convincing within particular disciplines, to other scholars, and to the larger public (red cloth with black lettering, very slight edgewear, previous owner's bookplate on front endpaper; black & white dust jacket has slight edgewear; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
