Intellectual Impostures by Alan Sokal & Jean Bricmont

Secondhand paperback very good condition. Published by Profile Books, 1999. Intellectual Impostures critiques postmodern philosophers and intellectuals for their misuse and abuse of scientific and mathematical concepts in humanities discourse. Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont systematically analyze works by figures like Lacan, Kristeva, Baudrillard, and others, exposing meaningless jargon and erroneous applications of terms from physics, topology, and probability theory. The book defends rational scientific standards against fashionable nonsense in academic writing.
