This is why, for example, Glock in his book on analytic philosophy suggests defeating "postmodernism" might well be an analytic pursuit. This is why, for example, Van Inwagen's intro to metaphysics speaks of "anti-realism" as though it's philosophically illegitimate. In a survey!

I reckon that bit'd read differently if you were studying a methodology or an attitude that seeps, at differing degrees, into a range of fields. Above, a 'common goal' is the linking string, not 'high penetration of a seperate methodology we've identified elsewhere'

I don't understand that tweet.

In your article, 'grievance studies' is a loaded umbrella term that targets everything within a collection of fields, but post-publication, the definition has been retro-actively changed to mean a methodology or an approach prominent in those fields.

No, it hasn't. You even screenshotted the section in which we said specifically what approach to identity studies we were criticising and are ignoring the discussion which says this is not the case and asks people not to say that it is.

Like with everything else associated with your project, I find the public pronouncement to be far more telling indications of intent than the content of the original post, when it comes to figuring out exactly who and what the targets really are.pic.twitter.com/DmgdjloPUT

I have been fully open about my intent. I have criticised these fields for years before doing the project. I am writing a book about the problem. That's why I did the project. Why do you find it suspicious that people who see a problem somewhere then investigate it?

I don't want gender studies defunded. I want it made rigorous. I'd actually like to teach it. I understand why people think it is providing nothing worthwhile right now tho.

Do you react in this way when feminists who have argued a problem to exist somewhere in regards to women's rights then investigate it and test this claim? Would you say 'Your previous statements show your intent to argue that sexism exists. Therefore looking for evidence is bad."
