Abstract

In recent decades, the history of science has gone global. But what about philosophy of science? Taking cue from the global turn in the history of science, I put forward an account of what a global turn in philosophy of science can look like. My account draws upon the hermeneutical approaches to integrated history and philosophy of science, championed by Jutta Schickore and Hasok Chang. On the way, I demonstrate – by examining the case of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India – that much is to be gained, by both sides, from a closer integration of global history of science and philosophy of science.
