Description: Philosophy of Science after Feminism by Janet A. Kourany Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The goal of Philosophy of Science after Feminism is a more socially engaged and socially responsible philosophy of science than what we have now. Publisher Description In this monograph Janet A. Kourany argues for a philosophy of science more socially engaged and socially responsible than the philosophy of science we have now. The central questions feminist scientists, philosophers, and historians have been raising about science during the last three decades form Kouranys point of departure and her response to these questions builds on their insights. This way of approaching science differs from mainstream philosophy of sciencein two crucial respects: it locates science within its wider societal context rather than treating science as if it existed in a social, political, and economic vacuum; and it points the way to a morecomprehensive understanding of scientific rationality, one that integrates the ethical with the epistemic. Kourany develops her particular response, dubbed by her the ideal of socially responsible science, beyond the gender-related questions and contexts that form its origins and she defends it against a variety of challenges, epistemological, historical, sociological, economic, and political. She ends by displaying the important new directions philosophy of science can take and theimpressive new roles philosophers of science can fill with the approach to science she offers.
