Just read now! Interesting, agree that play is gone and that’s a noteworthy turn, laughed to think of myself as the new old left. I think you’re way off on the role and influence of feminist #philosophy of science though...

If this is Longino’s considered view, then it doesn’t seem that objectionable. However, without a substantive argument for the utility of feminist values then (4) seems really weak (e.g. misogynistic values should also be acceptable as part of a scientific research project).
Indeed, it is less objectionable than the culture war might make one think! I think the places to look for that would be her `Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Values in Science' where she makes a case for the feminist values as useful for certain kinda projects....

That said, a well known objection to her view is what's called `The Nazi Problem'; how can she rule out anything as being useful somewhere? I don't think she wants to be a Feyerabendian anarchist, but I am also not convinced she ever settled this in an especially convincing way.
