“偏见”与“公正”的悖论——兼谈女性主义科学认识论

Paradox Between Prejudice and Justice——Also on Feminist Epistemology of Science

女性主义科学研究,一方面以批判传统主流科学理论的男性中心主义偏见为主要目标;另一方面寻求挑战科学理论纯客观性与公正性的理想,强调偏见和兴趣无处不在,以及价值判断的重要性。那么,如何在反对传统科学哲学的男性中心主义偏见与批判其公正性理论理想之间保持一定的张力,成为女性主义科学认识论面临的困境之一。由此,女性主义认识论支持一种对社会负责的、融合平等价值理念的、有利于性别平等的科学理想。

On the one hand,feminist science research criticizes the androcentric biases of the mainstream scientific theory; on the other hand,it challenges the ideal of scientific theory——pure objectivity and impartiality,emphasizing the nature of ubiquitous prejudice,interests,and value judgement. Thus,it is a dilemma facing feminist philosophy of science how to maintain certain tension between opposing the androcentric philosophy of science and insisting theoretical justice ideal. Thus,feminist epistemology suggests that an idealist science should integrate equality,be responsible for society,and be beneficial for gender equality.
