Fashionable Nonsense

Literature, 1997

The term Alan Sokal gave to words in stupid glossaries like these which were coined by intellectual imposters.

The Sokal Affair was a prank by physicists during the Science Warsbetween actual scholars and people from the humanities. The book it prompted was named “Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals’ Abuse of Science”.
