Elizabeth Grosz's interpretation of Darwinian evolutionary theory to ground a feminist ontology of biology has been particularly controversial. Most critics have understood Grosz as supporting her theory with empirical evidence, and they criticize her for being either inaccurate or uncritical of and overly dependent on science. I argue that Grosz reads Darwin as a philosopher in a Deleuzian and Irigarayan sense, and that Grosz's project is therefore better understood in terms of its ethical and political goals rather than in terms of empirical adequacy. Employing this evaluative framework leads to a novel route for critique of Grosz's ontology in terms of its reliance on the Darwinian distinction between organism and environment. I conclude that Grosz's work is valuable for the way it maintains ethical and political considerations in feminist ontological debates, and that introducing a more sensitive understanding of the organism–environment relation will lead us closer to a truly feminist ontology of biology.

评估Elizabeth Grosz的生物转向

伊丽莎白·格罗斯（Elizabeth Grosz）对达尔文进化论的解释以生物学的女性主义本体论为基础，这一论断尤其引起争议。大多数批评家都认为格罗兹以经验为依据支持她的理论，并且批评格罗兹对科学不准确或不批评，过分依赖科学。我认为，格罗兹以德洛伊兹主义和伊里加拉扬的意义将达尔文视为哲学家，因此，格罗兹的项目从其伦理和政治目标而不是经验上的充分性方面得到了更好的理解。采用这种评估框架，就对格罗斯的本体论提出了一条新颖的批评之道，因为它依赖于有机体与环境之间的达尔文主义区分。我得出结论，格罗斯
