Making Truth by Theodore L. Brown
This book argues that scientific knowledge is shaped as much by metaphor, language, and rhetorical choices as by empirical observation, showing how metaphors and models structure how scientists conceive of phenomena, design experiments, and communicate results; rather than mere embellishment, linguistic and conceptual framings play a constitutive role in making scientific 'truths' intelligible and persuasive. It traces how metaphorical thinking and argumentation operate across disciplines, examines tensions between objectivity and interpretation, and considers the implications for how we understand scientific practice, progress, and education.
