Epistemic Transfer in the History of Humanities and Sciences brings together experts from the history of science, the humanities and the social sciences, investigating the mechanisms and conditions of epistemic transfer across disciplinary domains.

This book addresses the major challenge that it is to understand why disciplines borrow from one another and why some transfers spark innovation while others fail. Through rich case studies spanning the history of science, humanities, and social sciences, it reveals the practices, infrastructures, and institutional conditions that enable successful knowledge circulation. Contributors revisit the concept of discipline itself, demonstrating how knowledge transforms as it crosses intellectual boundaries and providing fresh perspectives on contemporary interdisciplinary debates.
