Hard core relativism, like solipsism, is a disease that requires a cure rather than a resolution.

The relativist claim that all truth is relative to a specific theoretical framework or culture, vanishes in a puff of self-contradiction.

The relativist position cannot allow a convenient exception for its own underlying tenet.

THE SOKAL HOAX

LINK TO: ALAN SOKAL’S A Physicist Experiments With Cultural Studies: The original article published in LINGUA FRANCA which revealed Sokal’s brutal parody of “post-modern” relativistic nonsense.

Sokal was able to get an entirely bogus paper “Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity” published in the Spring/Summer 1996 issue of Social Text.
