Abstract

The feminist empiricism is an epistemology which links the empiristic method with the feminist political target.It inherits and develops the traditional empiristic epistemology and naturalized epistemology.It accepts the value-free and objective principles of investigation,criticizing the tendency of sexism and androcentrism in the traditional epistemology,claiming to structure an objective and unbiased epistemology which reflects the truthfulness of nature and society in virtue of women’s participate and strict obeying the ideal criterion of epistemology.The feminist empiricism is conservative,and has some problems such as the bias paradox,but it is very important.
