CONTRIBUTIONS OF FEMINIST EPISTEMOLOGY TO CRITICAL THEORY: DIALOGUES BETWEEN JÜRGEN HABERMAS AND NANCY FRASER

Kiefer Renata

Abstract

The article analyzes the contributions of feminist epistemology in relation to the androcentric bias in the production and validation of scientific knowledge in the social sciences and from there establishes a dialogue between the main arguments of two leading authors within contemporary critical theory: Jurgen Habermas and Nancy Fraser. The interest lies in the
fact that both inscribe their proposals in emancipatory socio-political projects that have critical horizons and the potential to transform our current societies.
