Question: If
a friend ask you what Harding's position all about, what would you say?
If a friend ask me about what Harding's
position all about, I will explain to him/her that first of all Sandra Harding
is a feminist philosopher of science in America, she is an education professor
at University California of Los Angeles, her position distinctly tell us that
she examined strong objectivity, she is the one who discovered standpoint
methodologies, and postcolonial and feminist science as well as technology
studies. She claimed that for some critics of such projects there seems to be a
fine line between attempts to enhance the social effects of scientific research
and "bashing science".
Besides than that, Harding also account
for inclusive science is vital as the civilians face problems of
sustainability, world climate change and food shortages. She make it clear that
standpoint methodology is a way to explain something that is so obvious but
hard to explain if you are a group of people who unwilling to listen to. A lot
of philosophy or sociology students often question about "how can we tell
who is right?'. Well, this probably needs scientists or philosophy funders to
involve in democratic public debate, rather than turn political issues over to
technocrats for their solutions. In a nutshell, the pure definition of 'strong
objectivity' refers to powerful groups may obtain the details and explanations
that they need to secure their priorities" (p.569).
