Taking Gender Seriously in Philosophy of Science
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 June 2023
Extract
The invitation to participate in this symposium was accompanied by a proposal indicating that the symposium topic was “Can we do philosophy of science without taking lnto account the gender, race, and class of scientists?” My own views on the relation of gender, race, class, and science contain an answer to this question, but in the main they run slightly aslant of it. Since my previous work bringing together philosophy of science and questions of gender has consisted in using philosophy to illuminate the role gender and associated ideologies play in certain selected research programs, I took the question as a challenge to articulate a closer relation between gender questions and the philosophy of science or—better—between gender questions and my own approach to the philosophy of science.
