Feminist Epistemology and A Fictional Narrative On Love
Original language description
The holism (Quinean and Kuhnian, in general) of post-war epistemology and the focus of feminist epistemology on the role of values in knowledge production form the background to this article. The aim of the text is twofold: 1) I wish to show that feminist epistemology can offer an illuminating viewpoint on non-theoretical attitudes, such as experiences of love, due to its intuition that epistemology deals with complex wholes comprising both factual and value contents. 2) I also intend to use a parallel with love to contribute to the discussion among feminist theorists about whether values are properly understood only as implicit background assumptions that motivate whole theories, or if they play more varied roles in explicit local arguments. Interestingly, the accounts of love that favour only the former pattern seem to be insufficient. A fictional narrative by Marcel Proust is used as an example.
