Summary

This quote suggests that when there are persistent social and political divisions based on factors such as gender, race, or socioeconomic status, certain scientific disciplines will emerge with the purpose of providing justifications and giving legitimacy to these divisions. It implies that science can be employed as a tool to reinforce and maintain existing inequalities and hierarchies in society, rather than challenging or dismantling them. The quote implies that as long as these divisions exist, there will always be scientific practices that serve to rationalize and validate these unequal systems.
