Beyond Epistemology A Pragmatist Approach to

Clough shows how inadequate empirical philosophy is in creating real change in the sciences. Instead, she supports a more pragmatic approach based on the work of Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson. This work encourages Clough's fellow feminists to refocus their critiques and discard their philosophical debates about epistemology.

Sharyn Clough is assistant professor of philosophy at Rowan University and a research fellow at the University of Tennessee
