postmodernist reification

[Dave Monroe]

Again, from Alan D. Sokal and Jean Bricmont,
Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse
of Science (New York: Picador, 1998) ...

"... although the quotation from Derrida contained in
Sokal's parody is rather amusing, it is a one-shot
abuse; since there is no systematic misuse of (or
indeed attention to) science in Derrida's work, there
is no chapter on Derrida in this book." (p. 8)

Who?  Which "Lit. Crit. types"?  I want names ...
