They are by no means one and the same. Socio-biology may be an >investigation that uses scientific discoveries, but it is not science. The two most sensible comments. As if Marxism had anything to fear from the natural sciences. The 'anti-foundationalism' and 'anti-essentialism' of these post-modernists is just an attack on reason itself - and that would entail an attack on Marxism just as much. The left conservatives are the ones who want to elevate mysticism and obscurantism to the status of good coin: the pomos. All power to Alan Sokal, I say. -- James Heartfield --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
