Abstract

As a consequence of the Sokal case, the question of the conditions under which one can speak of autonomy or dependence on science has taken on all its virulence and, it must be said, all its pertinence. Many saw in Sokal's mystification a falsification test It seems more fun to see in this, first of all, a scene game between two quite distinct powers: the "scientists" on the one hand, and the other on the other. The case can then be decomposed into two episodes: one, a comedy, of the comedy above. Everything, and other, torquemadesco, inquisitorial and delator.
