摘要：The view of science as neutral and not subject to the influence of class, race, gender nationality and politics, was largely rejected during 1960s and 1970s. Certain movements that focused on the social use of science had recognized science as a vehicle of the capitalist movement and as a means of exploitation, prouncing science and extended accompliance to the subordination of women, minorities, and underdevoloped countries. One of these movements is the feminist movement. Priro to the criticism of these movements, science was thought of as objective and value-neutral. modern feminist theory in the 1970s submitted a critical and theoretical concept of gender presented as a way of differentiating between the social construction of masculinity and femininity and the biological categories of male and female. UZsing this concept as a starting point and incorporating social constructivism, the feminists have articulated the feminist standpoint theory which attempts to construct knowledge from the perspective of womens lives. They stated key moments that have prevented the impartiality of science. The key concept of the standpoint epistemology incorporates the thesis that there exists a need to replace the epistemology sensitive to all specificities of the social context. The feminist version of the theory states that the way women experience social life gives them a unique view to the way the society functions, and that the womens, or feminists standpoint is less biased and distorted, for which they offer a number of arguments.
