During the time of development of the Epistemology theory, in which the questions of natural science were concerned, one of the meaningful thoughts was the thought of situated knowledge. But what is the situated knowledge by its nature? How did this notion appear? What are the results? That is why it is important to devote one article to these very questions.
Of course firstly, such a thought comes to our mind, that situated knowledge is connected by some way with the location of that person who can be named as a “transmitter”. But it is not quite right. Under such kind of knowledge we should understand knowledge as socially placed thing, which reproduces experience, principles and actions those who suppose to have this kind of awareness. Knowledge can not exist as a “smallhole” in the society, without any supports; it needs the presence of human practice in order to be valuable.
Comparing the propositions of post-modernism and post-structuralism we can say that feminist theory destabilizes the demands to objectivity and universality. The main ground for situated knowledge lays on the fact that human doings and material being need our world understanding. Social activity has such an opportunity to promote and to limit our awareness. It is known that the degree of women knowledge straightly depends on their location.
And by the way, according to the epistemology theory female presence into the researches are very important due to their ability to create unique practice through their location in the society.
Well, as we know that personal knowledge is incomplete in its nature, awareness of women should be consider as a great progress because only women can create very interesting unordinary, new ways of understanding of public relationships and public character. Also, it interesting to underline that, nevertheless, according to the epistemologists, female understanding is much more objective and their practice is less bended with abstract conceptual skeleton connected with male awareness.
