Sharyn Clough

Beyond Epistemology

A Pragmatist Approach to Feminist Science Studies

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Clough shows how inadequate empirical philosophy is in creating real change in the sciences. Instead, she supports a more pragmatic approach based on the work of Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson. This work encourages Clough's fellow feminists to refocus their critiques and discard their philosophical debates about epistemology.
