Description

Whose Science? Whose Knowledge? is a thought-provoking exploration of the theory and practice of science, challenging readers to consider the social bases of scientific knowledge.

Sandra Harding's book builds on her earlier work, developing a compelling analysis of feminist theories on how we know what we know. She examines issues that will interest anyone concerned with the social foundations of scientific knowledge, before expanding her arguments to incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences.

Harding argues that women's social experience provides a unique vantage point for discovering masculine bias and questioning conventional claims about nature and social life. This insightful work offers a nuanced understanding of the relations between feminism, science, and social life, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to achieve a more fruitful understanding of these complex issues.
