Abstract

IntroductionThis paper focuses on a radical feminist engagement with mathematical pluralism. Radical Feminists are interested in a project of methodological re-tooling. Mathematical pluralism appears to be a possible source of help in this direction.Materials and MethodsWith this aim in view the article examines the contributions of Mihir Chakraborty and Amita Chatterjee. By using the method of philosophical argument their theses have been judged from a feminist perspective.ResultsSome very interesing results have been arrived at in terms of accommodating vagueness and pluralism into feminist methodology by the help of mathematical pluralism.DiscussionBy the way of an ongoing discussion the paper states the contours of a radical feminist road map and specifies the kind help they seek from mathematical pluralism.
