    Open AccessSharon Crasnow, Sharon L CrasnowARTICLEHypatia2001

    In Science as Social Knowledge , Helen Longino offers a contextual analysis of evidential relevance. She claims that this “contextual empiricism” reconciles the objectivity of science with the claim that science is socially constructed. I argue that while her account does offer key insights into the role that values play in science, her claim that science is nonetheless objective is problematic
