Wikipedia. The science wars. The attack upon the validity of science from
the Humanities and the social sciences worried many in the scientific
community, especially when the language of social construction was
appropriated by groups who claimed to proffer alternative scientific
paradigms. Many scientists perceived that as attempted political control of
science in society, e.g. so-called ‘creation science,’ ‘intelligent
design,’ and the continuing creation-evolution controversy. In Higher
Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels With Science (1994), the
scientists Paul R. Gross and Norman Levitt attacked the anti-intellectual
postmodernists, presented the shortcomings of relativism, proposed that
postmodernist critics knew little about the scientific theories they
criticized, and practiced poor scholarship for political reasons.
