Dawkins Review of Intellectual Impostures
Suppose you are an intellectual impostor with nothing to say, but with strong ambitions to succeed in academic life, collect a coterie of reverent disciples and have students around the world anoint your pages with respectful yellow highlighter. What kind of literary style would you cultivate? Not a lucid one, surely, for clarity would expose your lack of content.
With this, Richard Dawkins begins a wonderful review of Intellectual Impostures by Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont. This book reveals Postmodernism for the easy tenure exploit it is.
