The dialogical dimension of the history of science has long been marginalized by an excessive concern on why modern science emerged in Europe, but not in any of the advanced civilizations of the East. This focus upon what has been called Joseph Needham‘s "Grand Comparative Question" ignores his other project, focused on showing how dialogues between civilizations have nurtured science. Needham‘s "Grand Dialogical Question" – if we may call it that by parity – has directly or indirectly inspired a vast body of literature showing how interconnections of civilizations over the last three thousand years, and exchanges of cosmological, mathematical, geographical, physical, biological and medical technologies, techniques, practices and knowledge, have been woven together to produce current science. Bringing together scholars whose research range across multiple civilizations and disciplines, this book investigates the scope and limits of Needham‘s dialogical vision for science.. | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | 关键词 | science studies; sociology of knowledge; Chinese science; Islamic science; Arabic science; Indian science | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-3541-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-981-97-3543-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-981-97-3541-9 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Singapor |
