In the past, the European social sciences labelled and discredited
knowledge that did not follow the definition for scientific
knowledge as applied by the European social sciences as an
alternative concept of knowledge, as indigenous knowledge.
Perception has changed with time: Not only has indigenous knowledge
become an entrance ticket to the European social science world, but
the indigenisation of European theories is seen by some as the
contribution of peripheral social sciences to join the theories of
the centres. This book offers contributions to the discourses about
alternative concepts of knowledge, inviting the reader to decide if
they are alternative, indigenous, or European types of knowledge.
However, in order to make this decision, the reader must know what
the nature of the European concepts of science and of scientific
knowledge is; this might be a motivation to read a book that
presents thoughts claiming to be alternative concepts of knowledge,
alternative to the European concept of science.
