Abstract
The aim of the article is to reflect indirectly first on all the contributions in this volume, and second to help fix the present line of thought onto feminist epistemologies. Some postulates of feminist epistemologies are presented. The key question of feminist epistemology as a field of inquiry is defined according to Iris Van Der Tuin (2016) – it involves “the epistemic status of the knowledge produced by privileged and marginalized subjects”, and the reflection about the intersection of knowledge and power. There are ethical and moral implications here: the challenge and responsibility to recognise power relations. If a knowing subject is understood as epistemically inferior, this has a negative effect on how they are understood in non-epistemic contexts (Fricker, 2017). Feminism, in other words, is an epistemological project (Bahovec, 2002).
