女性主义之后的科学哲学的主要信息是双重的：科学哲学需要将科学置于更广泛的社会背景中，停止分析科学，好像它存在于社会/政治/经济真空中;相关地，科学哲学需要旨在理解适合于这种背景的科学合理性，一种将伦理与认识整合的科学合理性。这本书所提出的对社会负责的科学的理想，实际上是主张，健全的社会价值观和健全的认识价值观必须控制科学研究过程的每一个方面，从研究问题的选择到结果的交流和应用。正是这一点给马特·布朗、休·莱西和利比·波特提出了令人不安的问题。在这篇论文中，我试图回答他们的问题，并明确如果我成功的话会发生什么。
The main message of Philosophy of Science after Feminism is twofold: that philosophy of science needs to locate science within its wider societal context, ceasing to analyze science as if it existed in a social/political/economic vacuum; and correlatively, that philosophy of science needs to aim for an understanding of scientific rationality that is appropriate to that context, a scientific rationality that integrates the ethical with the epistemic. The ideal of socially responsible science that the book puts forward, in fact, maintains that sound social values as well as sound epistemic values must control every aspect of the scientific research process, from the choice of research questions to the communication and application of results. And it is this that raises troubling questions for Matt Brown, Hugh Lacey, and Libby Potter. In this paper I attempt to answer their questions and make explicit exactly what is in the offing if I succeed.
