| Summary: | Feminist epistemologies and philosophies of science have challenged conventional standards for objectivity, rationality, "good method" and "real science." This paper looks at the stronger standards for maximizing objectivity which feminists have demanded, and the challenges to conventional philosophies and histories of science arising from non-Western science and technology traditions. Sciences and philosophies of science which want to advance social progress and social justice cannot do so if the ignore these challenges from groups located at "the peripheries of the Enlightenment." |
