 While feminist empiricism makes the case for the legitimacy of feminist values in science, it has also shaped scientific pluralism more broadly by fostering a debate about the methodological dimensions of value plurality and dissent in science. Longino (1993), for example, aims to replace the ideal of value-free science with a different set of procedural criteria according to which science should provide (1) forums for criticism that allow the formulation of scientific dissent, (2) uptake of criticism in the sense that dissent is actively discussed in scientific discourse, (3) standards that are publicly recognized and allow for the evaluation of dissenting positions, (4) equality in the sense that different epistemic communities are recognized as having equal authority.
