A swift scan of Postmodern Thought supplies opinions enough to swan your
way through any dinner party. Nietzsche rehabilitated? Of course. Haraway’s hot
pursuit of the cyborg side of life? No problem. A sound stretch on postmodern
approaches to science is flawed only by the absence of Social Text’s supreme
irritant, physicist Alan Sokal. Edited by Stuart Sim, published by Icon in its
Critical Dictionary series, £14.99, ISBN 187416665X.
