(Acclaimed theorist and social scientist Donna Jeanne Hara...)
Acclaimed theorist and social scientist Donna Jeanne Haraway uses the work of pioneering developmental biologists Ross G. Harrison, Joseph Needham, and Paul Weiss as a springboard for a discussion about a shift in developmental biology from a vitalism-mechanism framework to organicism. The book deftly interweaves Thomas Kuhn's concept of paradigm change into this wide-ranging analysis, emphasizing the role of model, analogy, and metaphor in the paradigm and arguing that any truly useful theoretical system in biology must have a central metaphor.

(1 HARDCOVER BOOK)
One of a small band of women pursuing feminist science studies, Haraway has become increasingly influential in the field of a feminist philosophy that self-consiously erodes the distinctions between disciplines. Using a richly metaphorical style, Haraway addresses questions of ontology and epistemology, and speaks to a deconstruction of those limiting boundaries between self and other that historically have constructed and oppressed women. Her iconoclastic essay ‘Manifesto for cyborgs' uses a provocative and complex vision of the half-human, half-machine cyborg being to open up the whole problem of what it is to be a self in a postmodern world. For Haraway, the body, far from being a fixed given, is the place of intervention, the site of possibility, of refiguring and realignments. Her aim is ‘denaturalization without dematerialization’; and despite her affinity with postmodernism she remains insistent on the necessity for a situated accountability in knowledge production.
