Abstract

Sandra Harding's work on and gender has been hailed as a shining example of the directions that feminism offers to the philosophy of science. Unfortunately her new direction consists of a poor rehash of arguments for pluralism and of a confused view she calls strong objectivity, which she proposes as a solution to the problem of reflexivity. Her proposal, however, not only fails to solve the problem but is motivated by a false dilemma. Moreover, her extension of her feminist views to race issues is condescending and racist.
