Скачать или смотреть Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science

A dive into the book "Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science" written by physicists Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont where we summarize the main criticisms of specific academics, most of them belonging to the postmodern tradition. We do not go into the chapters where Sokal and Bricmont talk about epistemic relativism or "Postmodern science".

The book does not take aim at philosophy, the social sciences, or the humanities in general rather its stated goal is to warn against "manifest cases of charlatanism" present in these disciplines.
Sokal and Bricmont wanted to point out mistakes and misuses of concepts and terminology coming from physics and mathematics in the philosophical literature.

The authors critiqued are Lacan, Kristeva, Irigaray, Latour, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Deleuze, Guattari and Virilio.
