The categories that structure the study of early modern science are organized around the epistemological liberal regime of facts, objectivity, skepticism, print culture, the public sphere, and the Republic of Letters. The regime of early-modern science in the global Spanish Monarchy is not well known because it was forged in a very different system, one of rewards and legislation in which most activities were transacted through one-on-one epistolary correspondence and intimate transference of information in translation workshops. This global system, nevertheless, engendered ceaseless technical and scientific innovations. I study three cases: the extraction and transformation of silver ores in several spaces; the production of ships and new botanical resources that reorganized global dockyards; and the creation of local translation workshops to facilitate the circulation of knowledge within the global empire. “European” science, the “West,” and instrumental reason have always been global co-creations. However, colonial and postcolonial Manichean dichotomous historiographical categories have made this truism hard to see.

论被忽视的全球“科学革命”

构成早期现代科学研究的类别是围绕事实、客观性、怀疑主义、印刷文化、公共领域和文学共和国的认识论自由主义制度组织的。全球西班牙君主制中的早期现代科学制度并不为人所知，因为它是在一个非常不同的系统中建立的，这是一种奖励和立法，其中大多数活动通过一对一的书信通信和信息的亲密传递进行交易在翻译工作坊。然而，这个全球体系产生了不断的技术和科学创新。我研究了三个案例：多个空间中银矿的提取和转化；重组全球造船厂的船舶和新植物资源的生产；以及创建本地翻译工作坊，以促进知识在全球帝国内的流通。“欧洲”科学、“西方”和工具理性一直是全球共同创造的。然而，殖民时期和后殖民时期的摩尼教二分法的史学分类使这一真理难以辨认。
