Abstract

Feminists in academics have over the past fifteen years made significant contributions to our understanding of the political role of "science." These critiques of the methods and practices of science are embedded within the larger oppositional struggles of women and other marginalized groups. Sandra Harding's The Science Question in Feminism has become a classic presentation of the literature. However, Harding's continued commitment to "objective' knowledge, which is indicative of her unwillingness to relinquish certain key aspects of the western humanist tradition, serves as the basis of this author's critique of her work.
