Synopsis
First published two decades ago, this collection of 16 essays gathered by Harding (education and information studies, U. of California at Los Angeles) and the late Hintikka (philosophy, Florida State U.) is re-presented as having just as much relevance in its feminist critique of epistemologies and philosophies of science and social science as it did when it first appeared. Harding, however, suggests that audiences may now be more receptive to its concerns, which includes the patriarchal assumptions of evolutionary theory, Aristotle's politicization of the soul, the adversary method in philosophy, individualism and the objects of psychology, and the possibilities of a feminist historical materialism.
