Summary/Abstract: The authors summarize the developments of the feminist critique of science from the 1970s until now. They examine the very basic concepts of the science (reason, method, rationality, objectivity etc.) to show the false presupposition of their gender neutrality. They consider their reworkings by feminist philosophers a significant contribution to the democratization of science.
