Summary
Today, new histories of science are producing skeptical questions about the supposedly international philosophies of science that prevail in the North.1 The conceptual resources of conventional Northern philosophies seem inadequate to enable them to interact effectively with how sciences and their philosophies do, could, and should function in today’s economic, political, social and cultural, local and global contexts. Gender, sexuality, and race issues often are central to these queries, though not consistently recognized. In this chapter, I consider each and ask how international, or universal, are these philosophies of science in reality?
