An innovative view of policy analysis that addresses crucial developments in contemporary epistemology. Dennis J. Palumbo, Journal of Politics This book has the potential to be important in the field, the leading statement for a movement. It does not call merely for words to balance the statistics, as in the tired debate between the humanities and the sciences. On the contrary, it argues that the words and the statistics are all part of the argument. The contributors apply theories of judgment ranging from classical rhetoric to modern theories of narrative to see the judging whole. The book proposes a new way to see old debates... In short, the book is excellent. Donald N. McCloskey, University of Iowa Author InformationFrank Fischer is Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University in Newark and a member of the Bloustein Graduate School of Planning and Public Policy on the New Brunswick campus.
