Isn't Alan Sokal the physicist who published a totally nonsensical spoof of deconstructionism or whatever, a few years back, and got it taken seriously AND PUBLISHED in some 'respectable journal' of deconstructionism?

My memory of it is that it brought down the whole house of deconstructionist cards.

But it's still being taught in all the chic universities, of course, just like that other discredited idea: Marxism.

In other words, isn't this a spoof?

(Maybe that's what Dawkins is writing about? Don't have time or inclination to read that guy now.)
