| Summary, etc |
Drawing on recent scholarship in the history and sociology of science, as well as in imperial and colonial history, Relocating Modern Science challenges both the belief that modern science was created uniquely in the West and the assumption that it was subsequently diffused, or imposed, elsewhere. Through six chronologically-ordered case-studies of knowledge construction in botany, cartography, terrestrial surveying, linguistics, scientific education and colonial administration, at key moments in their histories, this book demonstrates the crucial importance of intercultural encounters between South Asians and Europeans for the emergence of these disciplines."--Jacket |
