feminist philosophy of science

Feminist philosophy of science examines how gender influences scientific practices, ideas, and knowledge production. It highlights that science is shaped by social and cultural contexts, including gender biases and assumptions that can affect research questions, methods, and interpretations. By critically analyzing these factors, feminist philosophy aims to promote more inclusive, objective, and fair scientific inquiry—challenging claims of neutrality and emphasizing diverse perspectives to enrich understanding and reduce bias. Ultimately, it seeks to ensure that science reflects and respects the experiences and knowledge of all genders.
