Message: I strongly support Professor Sokal in what he has done. This shows that something has gone terribly wrong with some of the "cultural studies".

Message: I think the Sokal article and its follow up correspondence are of considerable significance. I am disappointed that now most of the links to follow up articles seem to be gone - they were easy to follow late last year. e.g. I'd like all readers to have easy access to Weinberg's article [The New York Review of Books, 8 August 1996] and Gardners [Skeptical Enquirer November/December 1996] Could copies of these articles be made available at one of the sites dealing with Sokal's article?

The articles selection has been moved to ./articles/articles.html and Prof. Weinberg has been contacted about including his comments on this page. jwalsh@u.washington.edu

Richard Ward, award@ext.jussieu.fr, visited on Friday, January 31, 1997:
Message: I think Sokal has performed a useful service, sort of like exposing the imaginary "domino theory" of an earlier day, which very few persons recognized for what it was at the time: pure nonsense.

Message: I found this site as part of my spring 1997 class (Relativism, Reason, & Reality) at MIT. See http://web.mit.edu/philos/www/rrr.html for an overview of the class and links to sites on relativism. Sokal is undoubtably admirable, IMHO, if not always correct in his admonition.

Knut Carlqvist, knutc@algonet.se, visited on Saturday, February 22, 1997:
Message: We are running a seminar in the daily paper Finanstidningen, Sweden, on the Sokal Affair, trying to establish the reason for bureaucracies to systematically promote po-mo, while suppressing focussed social critique of school problems, growth of ghettoes, etc. There´s a vested interest somewhere.
