Summary: Postmodern Culture Wars - Science Strikes Back!
Comment: A MUST book for those studying postmodern theory or the philosophy of science to get a view of the "scientific side" of the postmodern debate.
Postmodern theory has cast-off ideas central to the spirit of modern scientific method, such as Objectivity, Truth, Meaning, Precision, Simplicity, and Rigor. This book bountifully illustrates the contemporary postmodern fashion of highjacking scientific concepts without any attempt at bothering to understanding those concepts or to make meaningful statements about them.
This book also makes the case that the scientific aproach is necessary for society and the individual.
