Description

Postmodern Postures by Routledge examines the watershed moment of Alan Sokal's 1996 hoax article published in Social Text, which ignited the 'science wars' of the 1990s by exposing tensions between social constructionist views of science and scientific authority. The book situates this landmark controversy within the broader historical context of earlier intellectual debates on the 'two cultures' divide, tracing arguments from F.R. Leavis and C.P. Snow through Mathew Arnold and T.H. Huxley. Through interrogation of interdisciplinary approaches linking literature and science, the work explores the arguments surrounding postmodern culture and its relationship to scientific thought, offering readers a comprehensive analysis of how humanistic and scientific communities have grappled with fundamental disagreements about knowledge, truth, and cultural authority.
