yup

>> No.6108128

also, only people who don't read postmodernism think it's unfalsifiable nonsense.

Aren't you basically Avatar-fagging by doing this?

its demonstrably after modernism, so essentially no.

p.s.: Sokal targetted social text knowing it wasn't peer reviewed. This is the equivalent of publishing in the International Journal of Physics (pay-for-play, New Delhi).

>>6108503
At the time how many journals were peer reviewed that dealt with postmoderism?

>> No.6108560

>>6108544
A third of philosophy, 5% or greater in Sociology, half of literature.

There were plenty of peer reviewed outlets available to Sokal if he actually wanted to test his research.

>> No.6108574

>>6108560
5%? Tell me that number is gone up

>> No.6108625

This, very much.

>> No.6108638

>>6108574
Unfortunately yes.

Oh I see you're asking how many journals were peer reviewed in those fields. 98%+.

I was answering the other question "how many journals dealt with post modernism." More precision next time, less differdance please.

I don't think this board knows the purpose of 'falsifiability.'

>> No.6108653

I want to point out that people know things, not boards, but I can't think of a hypothetical counterexample that would make me realize boards know things, so never mind.

My question was quite clear actually.
So I will assume you don't actually know how many journals that would have accepted the essay were peer reviewed when Sokal submitted it.

Postmodernism is only respectable in the arts.

>So I will assume you don't actually know how many journals that would have accepted the essay were peer reviewed when Sokal submitted it.

Nobody can know that you fucking cretin. We do know, however, that Sokal targetted an experimental non-peer reviewed journal.

>> No.6108753

>>6108744
Really? Then why did you suddenly have a percentage when I asked?

>> No.6108776

>>6108753
You didn't ask for a percentage of journals that would accept Sokal's paper. You asked, in a confused way, for a percentage of journals that would accept post-modernist papers that were peer reviewed.

Fucksake, clear your head of shit.

Wow. So that statistic was accurate. Now I believe you!
