Abstract
[In this chapter I discuss the history of rhetoric as it deals with the issue of economics and science. I move from Aristotle to Kenneth Burke then I discuss the rise of the rhetoric of science and economics in the 1980s focusing on the major works of Deirdre McCloskey, Arjo Klamer, and Philip Mirowski. I begin the chapters with a discussion of reductionist thought in Marx and Marxist thought, the resistance to this thought, and the maintenance of reductionist thought in regards to Homo Economicnus as the sole remaining concept considered an all-inclusive concept for thought.]
