Summary
The 20th International Congress of
History of Science (Liège, July 1997) was the first to be held after
Joseph Needham (1900-1995) passed away. During the Congress the
symposium entitled “Global history of science” was
dedicated to this scholar usually recognised as the founder of the
study of East Asian science. The symposium aimed at highlighting the
significance of his research, which has influenced historians of
science in their study of all civili-sations. The papers presented
there and included in this volume focus on various historiographical
and methodo-logical issues raised by Needham’s work and on
questions which he has opened to investigation. These issues and
questions are relevant not only to the history of East Asian science
and technology, but also to the history of science at large, once one
envisions it in a global perspective. This volume is rounded off by
four further papers that are repre-sentative of current research in the
history of East Asian science.
