Relocating Modern Science
Circulation and the Construction of Knowledge in South Asia and Europe, 1650-1900
About this book
Relocating Modern Science challenges the belief that modern science was created uniquely in the West and was subsequently diffused elsewhere. Through a detailed analysis of key moments in the history of science, it demonstrates the crucial roles of circulation and intercultural encounter for their emergence.
