Summary: Wonderful and needed critical thinking
Comment: I've struggled with issues in my attempts to operate within the domain of "science" (soiology) - and I have formulated many critiques on my own, and then I came across this book, which gave me a vocabulary of critique and connected a lot of the thoughts I had been having, with new ones. Harding's work is original, fair, and very thought-provoking. It's a deconstruction of the concept of "objectivity" as it often is understood (implicitly) by practitioners of science. She explains that supposedly "value-free" science is actually very much situated and biased. She offers the beginnings of a new paradigm or epistemology, which she calls "strong objectivity". This is a mode of knowledge production that is more self-aware of its own situatedness, and, for this, generates more reliable, more responsible and more useful knowledge.

Summary: this book bites
Comment: Sandra Harding is so repetative and redundant, it was extremely difficult to concretly understand her point. Her argument that feminist theories challenge androcentric approach of western philosophy and scientific thought was lost in her writing style and syntax.
