Description
The essays in this volume engage with the history of sciences outside the West and pay tribute to the work of Joseph Needham. Informed by Needham's theory of the history of science, the contributors of this volume critically examine both the originality of Needham's endeavour and the limitations in his theory of history. In so doing, their essays throw up a number of questions that relate to contemporary concerns within the history of sciences as well as multiculturalism.
