In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, objects, texts and
people travelled around the world on board Dutch ships. The essays
in this book explore how these circulations transformed knowledge
in Asian and European societies. They concentrate on epistemic
consequences in the fields of historiography, geography, natural
history, religion and philosophy, as well as in everyday life.
Emphasizing transformations, the volume reconstructs small semantic
shifts of knowledge and tentative adjustments to new cultural
contexts. It unfolds the often conflict-ridden, complex and largely
global history of specific pieces of knowledge as well as of
generally-shared contemporary understandings regarding what could
or could not be considered true. The book contributes to current
debates about how to conceptualize the unsettled epistemologies of
the early modern world.
