    Preliminary Material /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- CHAPTER ONE: PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- CHAPTER TWO: DARWIN'S THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES: A RHETORICAL TEXT /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- CHAPTER THREE: THE ENIGMA OF THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- CHAPTER FOUR: DARWIN AS WRITER /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- CHAPTER FIVE: THE SEPARATION OF SCIENCE AND LITERATURE /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- CHAPTER SIX: LITERARY LANGUAGE AND EVASIVE REALITY: TOWARD A HERMENEUTICAL ONTOLOGY /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- CHAPTER SEVEN: CONCLUSION AND POSTSCRIPT /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- BIBLIOGRAPHY /Ilse Ν. Bulhof -- GENERAL INDEX /Ilse Ν. Bulhof. The existence of a separation between science and literature has long been taken for granted. This study shows that in science language functions in very much the same way as in literature: it is rhetorical in that it persuades readers to the author's point of view, and it is poetical in that with its metaphors and other figures of speech it shapes the experience of author and reader. The separation between science and literature proves to be untenable. This has important ontological implications: science can no longer be considered an action performed by a speaking subject on a mute object. Does the creative role of language in science mean that human beings 'create' the world? The author emphatically rejects a conclusion which would degrade nature to mere malleable material at the mercy of human beings. A hermeneutical model for the relationship between knower and known is suggested: creative interaction between reader and text. The reader's responses actualise a text's meaning; in like manner, scientists give their responses to reality by actualising one of many possibilities. The hermeneutical ontology proposed in this book steers away from the rocks of realism and anti-realism
