Donna Haraway b. 1944
Donna Haraway (born 1944) is an American philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Feminism, Post-Structuralism, and Continental Philosophy.
Donna Haraway is an American philosopher of science, biologist, and feminist theorist who has been one of the most influential voices in late-twentieth and twenty-first century science and technology studies. Her A Cyborg Manifesto rejected the boundaries between human, animal, and machine and offered the cyborg as an ironic figure for politics in a high-tech age, while her essay Situated Knowledges defended a feminist objectivity rooted in partial perspective rather than the view from nowhere. Later books like When Species Meet and Staying with the Trouble extended her concerns to multispecies entanglement, companion species, and the ethical demands of living and dying well together on a damaged planet.
