In this major study, the history of the French and British trading
empires in the early modern Mediterranean is used as a setting to
test a new approach to the history of ignorance: how can we
understand the very act of ignoring - in political, economic,
religious, cultural and scientific communication - as a fundamental
trigger that sets knowledge in motion? Zwierlein explores whether
the Scientific Revolution between 1650 and 1750 can be understood
as just one of what were in fact many simultaneous epistemic
movements and considers the role of the European empires in this
phenomenon. Deconstructing central categories like the mercantilist
'national', the exchange of 'confessions' between Western and
Eastern Christians and the bridging of cultural gaps between
European and Ottoman subjects, Zwierlein argues that understanding
what was not known by historical agents can be just as important as
the history of knowledge itself.
