A Radical Epistemology: Feminist Standpoint Theory

Feminist standpoint theory is a critical feminist epistemology. It begins with a claim of unified feminist standpoints, and its background and source are the living experience of female and marginalized crowd. It means to emphasize its epistemic privilege with a goal to pursue situated knowledge and strong objectivity. It strives to exterminate the whole oppression and the caste system which include sexual oppression, and construct a really liberated epistemology. Feminist standpoint theory, which is a newly arisen and main feminist epistemology, has a few of predicaments, but it produces some important contributions to epistemology.
