Description
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.
