Abstract

This article aims to present a feminist perspective of the social epistemology. From this analysis, criticize the universalization of the truth done through the traditional method of analytic epistemology and sciences, frequently said to be neutral or bodiless. I propose to demonstrate that the researcher is a body as a localization, or, is social and historical situated. To do so, my main argumentative scope will be the contributions of Donna Haraway and Sandra Harding in order to articulate the idea of an objective knowledge through knowledges that are located. Finally, highlight this perspective as an essential ramification to the social epistemology field.
