Translating the World begins by showing how discursive and writing strategies contribute to the ontology and epistemology of science, which includes understanding the special ways in which science uses language, whether it is natural language, mathematics or other semiotic systems. What this study reveals is that mathematics is not simply about logic and deduction, but also has unique strategies of writing its 'alphabets,' uses rhetoric, draws upon metaphorical images and has an essential relationship to natural language.

Industry Reviews

?TW is a timely, challenging, empirically grounded, and theoretically sophisticated book?It is a very valuable attempt to construct a third culture in which the traditions of listening and suspicion are kept simultaneously alive. One couldn't have asked for more. -- Rajendra Singh, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada * Meta: Research in Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, and Practical Philosophy *
