Analyzing the power of metaphor in the rhetoric of science, this book examines 

the use of words to express complex scientific concepts.



Metaphor and Knowledge offers a sweeping history of rhetoric and metaphor in 

science, delving into questions about how language constitutes knowledge. 

Weaving together insights from a group of scientists at the Santa Fe Institute 

as they shape the new interdisciplinary field of complexity science, Ken Baake 

shows the difficulty of writing science when word meanings are unsettled, and he 

analyzes the power of metaphor in science.
