The work frames scientific objects as mediated through constructions, instruments, and language, addressing how divergence and recalcitrance can be integrated into new explanatory frameworks. It also presents a transdisciplinary approach that combines logic, cognitive studies, poetics, rhetoric, and intellectual history to examine the origins and functions of metaphor and analogy across scientific practice.","","cbCaiexfOeRvdIWY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiexfOeRvdIWY","pdf",15381570,1,248,"English","en",105,"# Table of Contents\n## Preface\n## Apparatus as Models of Nature\n## Analogical Reasoning in Creative Problem Solving Processes: Logico-Philosophical Perspectives\n## The Nature of Metaphor and Scientific Description\n## Atoms and Letters\n## Analogies and Metaphors in Kepler\n## Looking at the Moon as Another Earth.
