Science and Other Cultures: Issues in Philosophies of Science and Technology

In this pioneering new book, Sandra Harding and Robert Figueroa bring together an important collection of original essays by leading philosophers exploring an extensive range of diversity issues for the philosophy of science and technology. The essays gathered in this volume extend current philosophical discussion of science and technology beyond the standard feminist and gender analyses that have flourished over the past two decades, by bringing a thorough and truly diverse set of cultural, racial, and ethical concerns to bear on questioning in these areas. "Science and Other Cultures" charts important new directions in ongoing discussions of science and technology, and makes a significant contribution to both scholarly and teaching resources available in the field.

Robert Figueroa teaches in the Philosophy and Religion Department at Colgate University. He has published essays on environmental justice and Latino identity. Sandra Harding is a Professor of Education and Women's Studies at UCLA. She is the author and editor of over ten books including Whose Science? Whose Knowledge? (1991) and Is Science Multicultural?
