Standpoint Epistemology in Feminist Philosophy of Science: An Analysis of Sandra Harding\u27s Thought
No full textThis article discusses feminist philosophy of science with a focus on analyzing Sandra Harding\u27s standpoint epistemology. Standpoint epistemology critiques the claim of objectivity in traditional science by emphasizing the unique insights that can be gained from marginalized groups, such as women, in scientific inquiry. Thinkers like Harding, Evelyn Fox Keller, and Donna Haraway argue that the perspectives of marginalized groups can reveal hidden biases and reshape our understanding of scientific reality. However, this approach has faced criticism, particularly regarding the risk of epistemological relativism, as highlighted by scholars such as Richard Rorty and Susan Haack. This study critically examines Harding\u27s standpoint epistemology from the perspective of Islamic philosophy, particularly through Syed Naquib al-Attas\u27s views on the philosophy of science. Islamic epistemology emphasizes the importance of integrating reason and revelation, prioritizing absolute truth derived from divine revelation, which contrasts with the relativism inherent in standpoint epistemology. By analyzing Harding\u27s critique through the lens of Islamic philosophical principles, this study aims to offer a more balanced and objective framework for understanding the role of social context in the production of scientific knowledge. The findings of this research contribute to the ongoing debate on objectivity and relativism in science, proposing that while standpoint epistemology offers valuable insights into social biases, it must be carefully balanced to avoid undermining the pursuit of universal truth.

Artikel ini membahas filsafat sains feminis dengan fokus pada analisis standpoint epistemology Sandra Harding. Epistemologi sudut pandang mengkritik klaim objektivitas dalam sains tradisional dengan menekankan wawasan unik yang dapat diperoleh dari kelompok-kelompok terpinggirkan, seperti perempuan, dalam penelitian ilmiah. Tokoh-tokoh seperti Harding, Evelyn Fox Keller, dan Donna Haraway berpendapat bahwa perspektif dari kelompok yang terpinggirkan dapat mengungkap bias tersembunyi dan mengubah pemahaman kita tentang realitas ilmiah. Namun, pendekatan ini mendapat kritik, terutama mengenai risiko relativisme epistemologis, sebagaimana diutarakan oleh para sarjana seperti Richard Rorty dan Susan Haack. Penelitian ini mengkaji secara kritis epistemologi sudut pandang Harding dari perspektif filsafat Islam, khususnya melalui pandangan Syed Naquib al-Attas tentang filsafat sains. Epistemologi Islam menekankan pentingnya integrasi antara akal dan wahyu, serta mengutamakan kebenaran absolut yang bersumber dari wahyu ilahi, yang berseberangan dengan relativisme dalam epistemologi sudut pandang. Dengan menganalisis kritik Harding dari sudut pandang prinsip-prinsip filsafat Islam, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menawarkan kerangka kerja yang lebih seimbang dan objektif dalam memahami peran konteks sosial dalam produksi pengetahuan ilmiah. Temuan penelitian ini berkontribusi pada perdebatan tentang objektivitas dan relativisme dalam sains, dengan mengusulkan bahwa meskipun epistemologi sudut pandang memberikan wawasan penting tentang bias sosial, hal ini perlu diseimbangkan agar tidak melemahkan pencarian kebenaran universal
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Sexual Consent Perspektif Maqasid Syariah
Full text linkThis article aims to explain the law of sexual consent or sexual consent according to maqasid sharia. Lots of approval and attraction to women, molestation, persecution that causes feelings of oppression and speech. Even in the West there is violence, so that Western women demand the freedom of their body rights. From this sexual agreement, feminism aims to seek justice or benefit for them. In compiling this article, the author uses critical analysis methods to explain the concept of feminism and sexual consent. The results of this study conclude that sexual consent according to Westerners is a solution so that no more treatment is recommended. In fact, Muslims also participate and agree to the concept. This is, which is contrary to maqashid shari'ah or the existence of shari'ah. So that consent and acceptance will only cause harm
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
