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

Book Description: Picador, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. In 1996, Alan Sokal published an essay in the hip intellectual magazine Social Text parodying the scientific but impenetrable lingo of contemporary theorists. Here, Sokal teams up with Jean Bricmont to expose the abuse of scientific concepts in the writings of today's most fashionable postmodern thinkers. From Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva to Luce Irigaray and Jean Baudrillard, the authors document the errors made by some postmodernists using science to bolster their arguments and theories. Witty and closely reasoned, Fashionable Nonsense dispels the notion that scientific theories are mere "narratives" or social constructions, and explored the abilities and the limits of science to describe the conditions of existence.Free Delivery Confirmation.
