Methodology, Ideology and Feminist Critiques of Science

PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1980:346 - 359 (1980)
Abstract This paper deals with two questions. First, if all scientists were perfect Popperians, how much influence could their background values and experiences have? It is argued that background can play a role in problem choice and in the constructing and testing of hypotheses. Second, do the ideals of feminism suggest the need for a new methodology and epistemology for science? In answering this question, Harding's paper in this volume is discussed.
