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!

  • BULGARIAN REVIVAL INTELLIGENTSIA Natural
    BULGARIAN REVIVAL INTELLIGENTSIA Natural Philosophy System of Dr. Petar Beron Petar Beron was born at year 1800 in the town Kotel, “a miniature of Nuremberg”, in a rich family of handcrafts and merchants. In Kotel he received his primary education at the cell school of Stoiko Vladislavov and Raino Popovich. He went further to Bucharest where he entered the school of Greek educator Konstantin Vardalach. The latter, a famous for his time pedagogue and encyclopedist, had influenced a lot for the formation of Beron as scientist and philosopher. In 1824 Beron is compelled to leave Bucharest, because he participated in a “Greek plot”, and goes to Brashov, another Rumanian town, where he compiled “The Fish Primer”. This book was fundamental for the Reformation in Bulgaria and an achievement for the young scholar. In 1825 Beron enrolled as a student in Heidelberg University, Germany, where he proceeded philosophy until two years later when he transferred to Munich to study medicine. On the 9 July 1831, after successfully defending a doctoral dissertation, Beron was promoted Doctor in Medicine. Dissertation was in Latin and concerned an operation technique in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The young physician worked in Bucharest and Craiova, but after several years of general practice he quit his job and started merchandise. After fifteen years he made a fortune and went to Paris where he lived as a renter. Here he started a real scientific career. His scope was to entail all the human knowledge by that time and to make a natural philosophy evaluation by creating a new “Panepisteme”. His encyclopedic skills were remarkable.

  • Organizing Images of Futures-Past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings
    Draft pre-publication version of Goodings, L., Brown, S.D., & Parker, M. (2013) Organizing images of futures-past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings. International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy, forthcoming. Organizing images of futures-past: Remembering the Apollo Moon Landings Lewis Goodings, University of Roehampton, London Steven D. Brown, University of Leicester Martin Parker, University of Leicester Abstract Organizational Memory Studies (OMS) has begun to consider the ways in which organizations construct versions of their own history. These histories have a broader significance through the ways they resource and are contested within cultural memory. In this paper we discuss the way that the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) constituted both its own past and future significance through the remediation and premediation of key images of the Apollo space programme. Drawing on visitor feedback from an exhibition in the National Space Centre in the UK, we identify three distinct narratives through which personal recollections of the Apollo landings are related espoused historical significance – ‘my generation’, ‘watching the landings’ and ‘remembering the future’. The images of the Apollo landings are a site of contestation where nostalgia for the supposed future that NASA sought to premediate is mixed with acknowledgement of the failure of that future to materialise.
