Global Epistemologies and Philosophies of Science: Global Dialogues and New Directions for Philosophy of Science

Philosophy of science has been, and continues to be, dominated by European and North American voices. By convening more diverse voices from across the globe, both new and standing ontological, epistemological, and methodological issues may be addressed, which would certainly be beneficial for the field. The recently published Global Epistemologies and Philosophies of Science (Routledge), edited by David Ludwig, Inkeri Koskinen, Zinhle Mncube, Luana Poliseli, and Luis Reyes-Galindo, wants to move beyond the traditional ‘Western’ Footnote 1 philosophical canon to show different visions on epistemology and philosophy of science (Ludwig et al. 2022 ). With this move, the volume aims to provide the reader with an understanding of the roles that philosophy of science could play in articulating global knowledge and the intertwinement of knowledge with politics.
