625Feminist perspectives on scienceStanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 2010.**No longer the current version available on SEP; see revised version by Sharon Crasnow** Feminists have a number of distinct interests in, and perspectives on, science. The tools of science have been a crucial resource for understanding the nature, impact, and prospects for changing gender-based forms of oppression; in this spirit, feminists actively draw on, and contribute to, the research programs of a wide range of sciences. At the same time, feminists have identified the sciences as a sour…Read more

1026Unification and Convergence in Archaeological Explanation: The Agricultural “Wave-of-Advance” and the Origins of Indo-European LanguagesSouthern Journal of Philosophy 34 (S1): 1-30. 1996.Given the diversity of explanatory practices that is typical of the sciences a healthy pluralism would seem to be desirable where theories of explanation are concerned.

Fifteen years later, the stream has become something of a torrent. The essays assembled for this special issue of Hypatia repre…Read more
