Another Logic of Scientific Research is a study book by Sandra Harding on objectivity and diversity in scientific research. The book examines the role of objectivity in science and argues for a more inclusive approach that takes social justice into account.
Description
Harding analyzes the complexity of objectivity and diversity within scientific research. She argues that objectivity should not simply be rejected, but rather adapted to do justice to the interests of vulnerable groups. The book questions how scientific knowledge can contribute to both epistemic accuracy and social justice, with attention to Indigenous knowledge systems and the participation of marginalized groups.
