الموضوعية في فلسفة العلم النسوية

Abstract EN

Feminist epistemology has taken a critical position on Scientific concepts such as objectivity and others, raising the banner of disobedience to traditional scientific concepts that have become incompatible with the course of science and scientific epistemology, as science was based on a set of practices and concepts ,especially the concepts of objectivity and rationality, and feminist considered these two concepts as the basis for every male view in the history of Science.

Where objectivity and rationality were employed ideologically to support this view, just as science became based on one approach and one logic, which was not appropriate for scientific interests and research, which prompted feminist epistemology to draw attention to the need for a scientific method that takes in to account the values and interests where relying on a single scientific method conferring on Science is a feature of final completion, and this is impossible, because science bears a progressive characteristic , and then feminist epistemology undermined confidence in male science and added a new formulation of these concepts and all the foundations on which they were based, such as objectivity and others.

In this research, I try to explain the inaccuracy of some of the statements that went to say that women do not have the ability to present accurate scientific concepts, perceptions and judgments on the pretext that women are not able to separate between what is subjective and objective, as she is unable to be objective, and therefore she is unable to the correct mental conclusion, because it depends on emotion.

For this reason, the feminist trend in the philosophy of science drew several criticisms of these statements and presented feminist alternatives that reflect the viewpoint of women in the politics and practice of science.

Among these philosophers who presented a new vision were the philosophers of science Sandra Harding, Evelyn Fox Keller and Helen Longino, through their approach to the concept of objectivity in the philosophy of science.
