Helen Logino's Contribution to The Philosophy of Science
Helen Longino's work on the nature of scientific knowledge is broadly feminist in the sense that it argues for the value of contributions by diverse people and accordingly to the value of science, some of Longino's other work has been more explicitly feminist and concerned with women. For example, she has presented and analyzed alternative narratives of female and male accounts of human evolution, emphasizing the impact of gender assumptions on the formation of theory. -
