Images and contexts: the historiography of science and modernity in India

This volume situates the historiography of science in India within a social theory of science. Focussing on several strands from the corpus of writing overthe last 150 years, it examines the paradigm shift within science studies, the move away from a West-centric theory of science, and future trends and possibilities.
