Thông tin chi tiết sản phẩm
- In 1996, Alan Sokal published an article in Social 7exft, an intellectual magazine that follows the latest fashion trends, mocking almost impossible-to-understand language despite the scientific appearances used by contemporary theorists. With the heated academic debate that began immediately after the joke, Sokal teamed up with Bricmont to expose the scientific conceptual exploits in the writings of today's most fashionable postmodern thinkers, to support the ideas and theories advocated by various postmodern writers, from Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva to Luce Irigaray and Jean Baudrillard. They documented the mistakes they made while using science.With its humorous and nuanced justification, Trendy Nonsense refutes the approach that scientific theories are merely narratives or social structures, and discusses the adequacy and limits of science in describing the conditions of existence.Modern sciences are one of the most remarkable examples of humanity's success and cultural accumulation. Like all the treasures that humanity has, it deserves respectful and meticulous endeavor, and it also rewards such efforts. Sokal and Bricmont show how easily this well-known fact can fall out of favor and how damaging its consequences are on intellectual life and human relations. They also provide us with a careful and constructive critical evaluation of the fundamental issues of experimental investigation. This is a very important contribution made at the right time. - NOAM CHOMSKYIn Fashionable Nonsense, Sokal and Bricrnont provide background information that will convince a reasonable person that the joke is seriously necessary and completely justified. A wonderful book. - RICHARD DAVVKINS, The God Delusion, The Story of the Ancestors, The Greatest Show on Earth. Author of the books The Gene is SelfishSokal and Bricmont's book will have an impact on at least the next generation of students... Although Sokal and Bricmont focus on the misrepresentations and exploits of a group of French intellectuals, their books actually raise a much broader issue: the alarming approach developed against science and scientific rationality in today's cultural world. -THOMAS NAGEL, The New RepublicThe spirit of finding out what he did to Trendy Nonsense and giving him the punishment he deserved has worked masterfully... The foundations of the case they defend, the evidence is solid. - THOMAS LEVVIS, San Francisco ChronicleIt inflicts an amusing defeat on the postmodemist academy in every respect. Trendy Nonsense delivers a killing blow. - BARBARA EHRENREICH, American dissident author of Dancing on the StreetsThis is an exit that will ignite a very heated debate. -KRISTINA ZARLENGO, Salon MagazineAn example of sheer audacity and intelligence... The book is a mind-blowing compilation about the stupidity of people, some of whom are rewarded as the best thinkers of our day... I recommend. - RUSSELL JACOBY, Los Angeles Weekly Show more
