Alan Sokal, Jean Bricmont: Intellectual Impostures: Postmodern Philosophers’ Abuse of Science (1997–) [FR, EN, ES, IT, RU, TR, PL]

22 September 2013, dusan

When Intellectual Impostures was published in France, it sent shock waves through the Left Bank establishment. When it was published in Britain, it provoked vicious debate. Sokal and Bricmont examine the canon of French postmodernists – Lacan, Kristeva, Baudrillard, Irigaray, Latour, Virilio, Deleuze and Guattari – and systematically expose their abuse of science.
