The Science Question in Feminism (Kwestia nauki w feminizmie)

Wprowadzenie

Sandra Harding, then a philosopher at the University of Delaware, published the book in 1986. She moves from the “woman question in science” – how to bring more women into science – to the “science question in feminism”: whether science itself, with its methods and ideal of objectivity, is shaped by gender. She sorts feminist epistemologies into three kinds. Feminist empiricism treats sexist bias as bad science, to be corrected by the usual methods; standpoint theory holds that research starting from women’s lives produces less distorted knowledge; feminist postmodernism doubts that there can be any single true story. Harding leaves the tensions between them open, and the typology became a standard reference in feminist philosophy of science.
