ABSTRACT
In this provocative article, Keller explains the masculine character of science and scientific thinking. She builds on the subjective-objective distinction that is basic in science and, using a sociological-psychoanalytical perspective, describes the process by which the capacity for scientific thought is developed and intertwined with the development of emotional and sexual identity. This paper is important to the study of feminist methods because it is a well-developed and articulate treatment of the theme that scientific thinking itself is gendered.
