Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

In 1996 Alan Sokal broke a rift in the intellectual and academic communities when he published farcical scientific essay in the hip intellectual magazine Social Text. In a witty and closely reasoned argument, the authors thoroughly document the misuse of scientific concepts in the writings of some of the most fashionable contemporary intellectual icons.


Review:

"Sokal and Bricmont step directly into the natural hostility that sizzles between postmodernist philosophy and hard science."

Thomas Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 12/27/1998
