Gender Perspectives and New Narratives

In this paper I present the conjunction between a) some trends in history and philosophy of science, which, under the banner of a renewed historical epistemology, articulate a new relation between conceptual history and situated history; and b) new narratives in the history of philosophy that integrate women philosophers by showing the displacements this causes in terms of corpus, objects of research, and forms of writing. By questioning the philosophical canon, new focal points are brought to light. c) Then I briefly present the tools of feminist epistemology as methodological instruments to, in fact, proceed to the decentering of the canon.
