Feminism and Philosophy of Science - An Introduction

Zusatztext 'Potter not only tells the reader (clearly, systematically) what the central philosophical issues are in this area and how feminist philosophers have responded to them, but also shows what is involved in engaging them. She immediately draws readers into thinking through the issues that animate feminist analysis of science. What's more, she charts a course forward that holds great promise for both feminist and philosophical thinking about science.' - Alison Wylie, Stanford University, USA Informationen zum Autor Elizabeth Potter Klappentext This book reflects upon the recent growth of interest in feminist ideas of philosophy of science and traces the development of the subject within the confines of feminist philosophy.
