Abstract:
Knowledge transfer across different contexts has become an increasingly prevalent feature of current science. As such, it is a relevant topic also for historians and philosophers of science. This special issue presents a set of papers that study knowledge transfer in various disciplines. The contributions approach the topic from 1) an integrated history and philosophy of science perspective, 2) a systematic philosophical perspective, or 3) a historical perspective. Taken together, they give a broad introduction into the topic and offer a set of conceptual resources for the study of knowledge transfer in multiple contexts.
