| Abstract
|
:
|
"Feminist perspectives have been increasingly influential on philosophy of science. Feminism and Philosophy of Science is designed to introduce the newcomer to the central themes, issues and arguments of this burgeoning area of study. Elizabeth Potter engages in a rigorous and well-organized study that takes in the views of key feminist theorists -- Nelson, Wylie, Anderson, Longino and Harding -- whose arguments exemplify contemporary feminist philosophy of science. Arranged thematically, Feminism and Philosophy of Science looks at the spectrum of views that have arisen in the debate, and unpacks the arguments on key topics such as value-free science, values, objectivity, standpoint and relativism. It assumes no previous knowledge of the subject, and is written in an accessible, student-friendly style. It will be an important source for students of philosophy, philosophy of science, gender studies and feminist studies"--BOOK JACKET.
