現代美國伊夫林·凱勒 Evelyn Fox Keller

美國現代美國 (1936年)

科學家 Scientists：

　　伊夫林·福剋斯·凱勒的科學哲學是源於女性主義者意識到科學的歷史一直是以男性為中心的歷史,男性無論在數量還是質量上都占絶對壓倒優勢.在對科學的男性化進行批評時,她通過對科學內部隱喻的批判性分析,揭示了"科學與性別"問題,提出了"動態客觀性"問題,試圖在實在論與相對主義之間尋求一條"中間道路",指出科學既非"自然之鏡"亦非"文化之鏡",而是自然與文化相互作用關係的反映.這些既反映了凱勒對科學哲學的貢獻,也反映了她對科學的反思有待進一步增強辯證性.

　　Evelyn Fox Keller (born 1936) is an American physicist, author and feminist. She is currently a Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Keller has also taught at the State University of New York at Purchase, New York University and in the department of rhetoric at the University of California, Berkeley.
　　Keller received her B.A. in physics from Brandeis University in 1957 and continued her studies in theoretical physics at Harvard University graduating with a Ph.D. in 1963. She became interested in molecular biology during a visit to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory while completing her Ph.D. dissertation. Her subsequent research has focused on the history and philosophy of modern biology and on gender and science.
