The rhetoric of scientific language: An example from Lavoisier (1981)

unapi

Description “There are several points to be raised which explain why the nature of scientific writing can be discussed in the context of literary studies and not only in the history and philosophy of science. A simple example is found in a group of works that come from the French chemical and literary-philosophical context that immediately precedes the 'revolution' in chemistry imposed by Lavoisier, works such as the Dictionnaire de chymie of P. J. Macquer, the Logique of Condillac, and the `Reflexions sur le phlogistique' and Traité élémentaire de chimie of Lavoisier.”
