Beyond the center: Sciences in Central and Eastern Europe and their histories
An interview with Professor Michael Gordin conducted by Jan Surman

Abstract

Co wyróżnia nauki w Europie Środkowowschodniej? Z jakimi problemami skonfrontowani są historycy nauki piszący o tym regionie? Czy nauka ta różni się od nauki produkowanej w centrach i w czym? Jak bardzo imperialna jest nauka reprezentantów nacji dominujących i ta reprezentantów nacji niedominujących? To niektóre tematy poruszone w rozmowie z Michaelem Gordinem z Princeton University, jednym z wiodących historyków nauki.
