Introduction
Welcome
to the 5th International Conference of the European Society for the History of
Science
"Scientific cosmopolitanism and local cultures: religions, ideologies, societies"
Science as practice and culture has an international and ecumenical dimension. The Science
of the Ancient Greek world dissipated in the Roman Empire and later in the Islamic world
and Medieval Europe, the Science of the Islamic world was spread over Medieval Europe
and Asia and in turn European science all over the world. The diffusion of scientific ideas is
associated with scholars’ mobility. Scholars travel to teach, to learn or exchange ideas, often
during periods when their homelands are in war with those visited. Byzantine astronomers
were found in caliphs’ courts and Arab astronomers to Byzantine emperors’ courts during
the Arab-Byzantium wars, Arab scientists travelled all over the Iberian Peninsula during the
Islam-Christian conflicts, Catholic and Protestant scientists travelled all over Europe during
the Religious Wars, French and British scientists maintained contacts during the wars
between France and Britain etc. From the birth of science and all over its history, scientists
in their majority seem to feel members of an international community. They seek for
interlocutors without consideration of nationality or religion beliefs.
This scientific cosmopolitanism often comes in conflict with local cultures. Greek science was
considered as a vector of paganism by certain Fathers of Christian Church, European science
was faced with suspicion in China, Japan or Eastern Europe. Traditional societies came often
in conflict with new scientific ideas, originating mainly from Europe. Despite its
cosmopolitan character, nationalism is not absent from science. Byzantine scholars felt
proud to be the inheritors of Greek science, Chinese astronomers promoted their methods
as part of the tradition, German, French or British scientists debated for the parentage of
scientific discoveries.
The theme of the 5th International Conference of the European Society for the History of
Science aims to discuss all these topics from an interdisciplinary point of view. It is organized
jointly by the National Hellenic Research Foundation and the National and Kapodistrian
University of Athens, two prominent scientific institutions that fostered the development of
History of Science in Greece in the last decades.
The logo of the Conference represents the Antikythera mechanism, this almost mythical
instrument considered as the first computer in human history. During the Conference, an
exhibition takes place at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens about the
Antikythera shipwreck and an important section is devoted to the Mechanism.
It is our pleasure, in our capacity as local organizers of this important event, to welcome all
the participants in the city of Athens.
Just opposite the National Hellenic Research Foundation are the ruins of the Lyceum of
Aristotle, found some years ago by Greek Archaeologists. We wish you a nice and productive
stay and many cosmopolitan contacts!
On behalf of the LOC and all the colleagues who participated in the organization of the
Conference,
Efthymios Nicolaidis and Constantine Skordoulis
