Oh Sokal & Bricmont, I do love you.

The fact that the postmodern distrust of metanarratives is itself a metanarrative & has become a doctrine shld fatally undermine it but no.
-
Academic leftists who define themselves as radically unorthodox need to refuse to see their position has been the orthodox one for some time
-
They must be a beleaguered minority & present challenges to epistemic & moral relativity as conservatives trying to preserve a status quo.
-
It seems incredible they have not noticed that conservatives& universal liberals (who they conflate) are the minority voices afraid to speak
-
But my observation is that they genuinely have failed to notice this & continue to see themselves as the radical minority in universities.
-
For this reason, I think terms like 'standard/orthodox social science model' are useful if not for academics then for students.
-
Come on, students. Its your job to challenge the orthodox & the establishment, isn't it? With arguments. Particularly if you're lefties.
