女性主义对实证主义的挑战 —综述女性主义方法论之辩

文章梳理了自20世纪60年代第2次女性主义思潮以来，女性主义从认识论和方法论上对实证主义的挑战。这些挑战的目的不是颠覆，而是反思和重新诠释。在认识论上，女性主义的主要关注点有三：谁可以拥有知识，什么可以称为知识，以及知识是什么；在方法论上，则主要讨论了主观性与客观性，局内人与局外人，以及质性研究与量化研究等问题。

The Challenge of Feminism to Positivism——An Overview of Controversies about Feminist Methodology

This paper addresses the challenge of feminism to positivism in epistemology and methodology since the second feminist thoughts.

Furthermore, the topics of Subjective and Objective, Insider and Outsider, as well as Qualitative research and Quantitative research are involved in the discussion on methodology.
