Title: unfortunately bad
Product review: I was looking forward to an engaging critique of postmodernism. Aside from pointing out the most absurd examples of French Theory, this book does little else. Let me stress, I'm no fan of post structuralism, but the propagandistic quality of this work is too crude to convince anyone already sympathetic to French theory, and one is left wondering what Sokal's motives real are.Lastly, it might interest readers to know that two French brothers have recently (2001) pulled off a similar stunt, but this time the target seems to be theoretical physics. Not only have these brothers been able to publish several nonsense articles in scientific publications, they were also awarded a PHD! Poetic justice perhaps?
