(I like to dabble around the perimeters of philosophy so your comment interested me, and I did some googling)

this links to a book review written by Philosopher Thomas Nagel about Sokal's book

https://physics.nyu.edu/sokal/nagel.html

He lays out a pretty clear defense for Sokal's critique of Feyerabend, just ^F Feyerabend and read from there.

your move, Feyerabend




Thanks for the link, I'll have a read later; sadly Feyerabend won't take up your invitation, he died in `94, but if you have a slot in your book schedule, do have a look at Against Method, astonishing (and entertaining).
