Scientists as Prophets: A Rhetorical Genealogy
Walsh, Lynda (Associate Professor of English, Associate Professor of English, University of Nevada, Reno)
In Scientists as Prophets, Lynda Walsh argues that our science advisors manufacture certainty for us in the face of the unknown. Through a series of cases reaching from the Delphic oracle to seventeenth-century London to Climategate, Walsh elucidates many of the problems with our current science-advising system.
