Feminist Epistemology and Value
This 2000 article by Alison Assiter develops a distinctive approach to feminist epistemology centered on the concepts of ‘emancipatory values’ and ‘epistemic communities.’ Assiter argues that knowledge production is fundamentally shaped by the values of the communities in which it occurs, and that feminist epistemology should focus on creating communities whose values promote emancipation rather than oppression. The paper offers a modernist feminist epistemology that is collective rather than individualist, value-centered rather than value-neutral.
