Stanley Fish (who edits Duke Journals where Social Text is published) has
published a neat, familiar debunking of the Sokal manoeuvre. If you want
I can post it here, or send it to you individually. Basically, he says
that sociologists of science have always debated the relative merits of
scientific theory, that the issue is not whether there is a "real" world
out there but how we understand it, and that it is Sokal who violates the
trust of an academic community which is necessary to inquiry in his own
field.
