Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science, first published in French in 1997 as Impostures Intellectuelles.
When this book was published in France at the end of 1997, it sent shock waves through the Left Bank establishment. It showed how some of France's most renowned contemporary thinkers have repeatedly abused scientific concepts in their work.
Hailed and vilified on both sides of the Channel, Intellectual Impostures provoked a heated debate over the standards of intellectual rigour and honesty.
