    No, we're not. We argue for evidence and reason centered epistemologies in academia and against cultural constructivism of the kind we wrote in our papers. Everyone has the authority to evaluate these questions and form conclusions and we'd like to keep it that way.https://twitter.com/willwilkinson/status/1050051803847512064 …

    At least half of mainstream analytic epistemology and philosophy of science is constructivist. You're staking out an empyrean perspective and arrogating to yourselves authority to referee some of the hardest questions in the history of thought, as if you've cracked them.

        Then publish a critique of the errors constructivism in Philosophy of Science or the American Sociological Review? Everyone can opine on the internet, but that's not the authority of credible, vetted expertise. If you're so keen to defend that authority, show that you have it.

        This is telling Picasso to show he's a great artist by painting something like the Mona Lisa. But comparative advantage is real. The Sokal Squared team did something great, that's enough for one lifetime. 🌺🌻🌹🌷🌸 Let a thousand methodological flowers bloom 🌸🌷🌹🌻🌺

        I am very sympathetic to the project but centring reason is not a value-free approach, and there are several decades of continental philosophy to contend with in this statement (not just Foucault, Derrida et al).

        Not to mention millennia of philosophical curiosity about what reason is, and what are its instrumental consequences.
