摘要

In this thesis I undertake two tasks. First, I argue that traditional epistemological commitments---individualism, 'the view from nowhere,' and value-neutral objectivity---sustain longstanding oppressions, and if those injustices are to be changed, so too must epistemology. Second, I claim that of the three competing feminist epistemologies---standpoint theory, feminist empiricism, and feminist postmodernism---feminist empiricism ought to be adopted. It is the superior to the others because it avoids their liabilities while retaining the ability to employ normative analysis. In order to demonstrate feminist empiricism's ability to both diagnose and resolve oppression, I apply its methodology to the livestock industry. Accordingly, the industry's sexist nature is revealed in the data pertaining to its ordinary practice. Resolving or even just ameliorating the industry's problems demands a keen understanding of its sexism. Because without this understanding, the root causes of the poverty and violence associated with the industry cannot be cured. Therefore, before even tentative solutions can even be formulated, feminist political morality must be internal to knowledge gathering practices. Otherwise only symptoms will reveal themselves and the critical factors sustaining the oppression will remain. Finally, using insight gained from feminist empiricist analysis of the livestock industry, I recommend five actions that communities can take to address the most pressing problems its entails.
