The essay discusses the role of localist perspectives in the history and historiography of science and addresses metaphysical views of localism and universalism that are implied by different historiographical strategies used to explain the global nature of contemporary science. Other topics include empiricist methodology in the historiography of science, the historical study of metrology, and the work of sociologist Bruno Latour.
