Facing the Data Soliloquies – Crossing the Boundaries of Quantum Gravity Hermeneutics

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we criticise the so-called Sokal’s “cultural revolution” and the so-called “science Wars,” inspired by the paper entitled Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity, written by Alan Sokal. We have shown that it is scientifically dishonest and unfair to cut and paste vastly different and divergent entries from several interdisciplinary fields and present the resulting pastiche as some sort of scientific research. In his paper, Sokal examines the implications of taking into consideration quantum gravity while analysing certain phenomena in the domain of humanities.
