Many of the feminist critiques, particularly, have been based in epistemology. Sharyn Clough supports the intervention into science, but rejects the feminists' prevalent focus on epistemology in favor of a more empirical approach. Beyond Epistemology argues that the best way to discard sexist and racist science is to encourage more accurate data and methods. Using a case study from evolutionary biology, Clough shows how inadequate empirical philosophy is in creating real change in the sciences. Instead, she supports a more pragmatic approach based on the work of Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson. This work encourages Clough's fellow feminists to refocus their critiques and discard their philosophical debates about epistemology.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 232mmItem Length: 163mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 376gAuthor: Sharyn CloughGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & Relationships, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
