"Sokal affair"[edit]

I'm removing the link to the so-called Sokal affair. It's presence here is an insidious way of retreating from logical engagement by hinting that Derrida was full of nonsense. Although there are legitimate criticisms of the paper discussed on this page, they are all political rather than philosophical in nature, and therefore the link is irrelevant.
