The Stone, a New York Times philosophy blog, hosts an exchange between Michael Lynch and Alan Sokal. For those not familiar with them, Lynch is a famous proponent of social constructivism (“all truth is made up”), while Sokal is famous for the Sokal Affair in which he published absolute garbage in an academic humanities journal to make a point about the weakness of knowledge claims in the humanities.
