(2015) Relocating the history of science, Dordrecht, Springer.
The paper discusses the relation between the history of science and the history of knowledge, including their normative dimensions. It conceives of science as involving cultural abstractions that result from reflections on concrete practices and experiences accumulated along historical trajectories which can only be understood from a global perspective. The approach is illustrated by a sketch of those aspects of a global history of knowledge that shaped the emergence of modern science.
