Keller's Gender/Science System: Is the Philosophy of Science to Science as Science is to Nature?

View through CrossRef

I argue that although in “The Gender/Science System,” Keller intends to formulate a middle ground position in order to open science to feminist criticisms without forcing it into relativism, she steps back into objectivism. While she endorses the dynamic-object model for science, she endorses the static-object model for philosophy of science. I suggest that by modeling her methodology for philosophy on her methodology for science her philosophy would better serve her feminist goals.

Title: Keller's Gender/Science System: Is the Philosophy of Science to Science as Science is to Nature?

Description:

I argue that although in “The Gender/Science System,” Keller intends to formulate a middle ground position in order to open science to feminist criticisms without forcing it into relativism, she steps back into objectivism.

While she endorses the dynamic-object model for science, she endorses the static-object model for philosophy of science.

I suggest that by modeling her methodology for philosophy on her methodology for science her philosophy would better serve her feminist goals.
