Talk:Standpoint theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There should be a discussion here about how Standpoint theory comes from Hagel and Marx.

Yes, and just like Marxist claims that the proletariat have more complete knowledge as oppressed people, standpoint theorists claim that women (as well as other marginalized groups) have more complete knowledge as well, being able to their own view and that of the oppressor, whereas the oppressor can only see their own view. Donna Haraway writes about situated knowledge, but does not prescribe the idea of a hierarchy of knowledge where any group's knowledge is more complete. Because of that, I'm removing her from this list. Louco coitado 07:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
