〈 Berger | Dillon 〉

I realise it’s a tangent but anyone nerdy enough to have read this far down thread might be interested in this great book: https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/mobile/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199692026.001.0001/acprof-9780199692026 …

I also highly recommend it

You all are attacking him on positions he does not hold. Your real issue is with his takedown of the excesses of critical theory. These tweets are disingenuous and leave his general project untouched. Shame on you guys.

Actually, my issue is how he gets both science and critical theory wrong, and the has the unmitigated gall to parade his wrongness as though it is a profound revelation about scholarship.

Critical theory charlatans assert there are no absolute truths, or some less radical ones, that one can never know the objective truth. Hence their loathing of the scientific method, logic, reason, etc But when you say "wrong", you assert absolute truths, contradicting yourself.

I do hate scientific method, logic, reason, and objective truth, so that’s fair at least.

but do you hate dialethic logics
