Moderately amusing the first time you read it, but he's been banging on about it in book after book. Mocking French intellectual poseurs is fair game I guess, but then he started having a go at Feyerabend? Oh dear.
- fsckboy 4y ago(I like to dabble around the perimeters of philosophy so your comment interested me, and I did some googling) this links to a book review written by Philosopher Thomas Nagel about Sokal's book https://physics.nyu.edu/sokal/nagel.html https://physics.nyu.edu/sokal/nagel.html He lays out a pretty clear defense for Sokal's critique of Feyerabend, just ^F Feyerabend and read from there. your move, Feyerabend
- jjgreen 4y agoThanks for the link, I'll have a read later; sadly Feyerabend won't take up your invitation, he died in `94, but if you have a slot in your book schedule, do have a look at Against Method, astonishing (and entertaining).
