★『「知」の欺瞞』関連情報も見て下さい！★

2000年5月24日に『「知」の欺瞞』がついに出版！

本の入手を待ち切れない方は以下を読んで予習しておこう：

• 堀茂樹、「きみはソーカル事件を知っているか？」、平凡社『月刊百科』 1998年2月号 No.424、14-15頁と1998年3月号 No.425、42-43頁より。
• アラン・ソーカル、「ソーシャル・テクスト事件からわかること、わからないこと」、田崎晴明訳、in A House Built on Sand: Exposing Postmodernist Myths about Science, edited by Noretta Koertge (Oxford University Press, 1997).

ソーカル＋ソーシャルテキスト事件 (1996年春、アメリカ)：

ニューヨーク大学物理学教授のアラン・ソーカルは、トレンドで有名なポストモダン知識人達の言葉をそっくりそのまま多数引用し、それらと今世紀の数学と理論物理学をナンセンスな議論によって深く関係付けることによって、『境界を侵犯すること：量子重力の変換解釈学に向けて』という奇妙なタイトルのパロディー論文を書き上げた。そして、それを雑誌『ソーシャル・テキスト』に投稿し、それがパロディーであることを見抜けるかどうか試してみたのである。しかし、結果的に、そのパロディーは真面目な論文としてソーシャル・テキスト誌にそのまま掲載されてしまった。それを見たソーカルはただちにそのことを暴露。このページには、ソーカルの動機は何であったか、どのような反論がなされたか、その後の長期に渡る論争はどうなったのか、…などに関する有用な情報を集めてある。

『知的詐欺』(1997年秋、フランス)：

騒ぎはこれだけで終わらなかった。第二の爆弾が炸裂したのである。1997年10月、ソーカルはベルギーの物理学者ジャン・ブリックモンと共著で、『知的詐欺』という挑発的なタイトルの本をフランスで出版した。ソーカルとブリックモンは、その本において、フランスの権威ある知識人達の言葉を多数引用し、大きな影響力を誇る彼ら彼女らがどれだけ馬鹿なことを言っているかを逐一具体的に指摘したのである。刊行と同時にフランスの知識人界は大揺れに揺れた。論争は現在も続いている。なお、フランスでベストセラーになったこの話題の書の共著者達自身による英訳が1998年の7月に出版予定である。その他にも、カタロニア語、中国語(台湾)、オランダ語、ドイツ語、ギリシャ語、イタリア語、韓国語、ポルトガル語(ブラジル)、ポルトガル語(ポルトガル)、スペイン語への翻訳が予定されている。日本語への翻訳の予定はないのであろうか？　(追記：英語版の『ファッショナブル・ナンセンス』の邦訳が2000年春に出版予定である！)

日本における「サイエンス・ウォーズ」のプロパガンダ (1998年、日本)：

なぜか今頃になって、日本の科学論と新科学哲学のお偉方が雑誌メディアでソーカル事件について活発に言及し始めた。「サイエンス・ウォーズ」というキャッチフレーズを強調することによって戦争ムードを煽り、「ソーカルは学者の最低限の倫理規範を踏みにじった」などと大袈裟に騒ぎ立てている。この今更の「過剰反応」はどのようにして引き起こされたのであろうか？　ちなみに、1998年の3月に日本でSTSの国際会議が開催されている。 (ちなみにここは「サイエンス・ウォーズ」のページではない。)

『ファッショナブル・ナンセンス』 (1998年11月-12月、アメリカ)：

ついに、『知的詐欺』のアメリカ版『ファッショナブル・ナンセンス』が発売された。『知的詐欺』の表紙のデザインはひどかったが、こちらはすっきりしている。タイトルのセンスもこちらの方が良い。

『「知」の欺瞞』 (2000年5月、日本)：

ついに、『ファッショナブル・ナンセンス』の邦訳『「知」の欺瞞』が2000年5月24日に出版された！　特に大学新入生にとっては必読の書になると思う。皆さん、宣伝よろしく。

  Alan Sokal氏はこの“論文”において、フランスにおける“トレンディーな思想家達”Jacques Derrida, Jacques Lacan, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Luce Irigaray やアメリカにおける“ポストモダンな知識人達”の言葉を多数引用し、現代における理論物理学や数学の“動向”と無理矢理関係付けることによって、それらを褒め讃えた。
