Since Doug has seen fit to post John Sturrock's review of Sokal and Bricmont's book here is their reply which appeared in the July 30 issue of the London Review of Books. BTW a number of other letters appeared in the same issue in response to Sturrock's review, most harshly critical of him.

----------------------- Let's see if we've got this straight. John Sturrock (LRB, 16 July) thinks that clarity and rigour are admirable qualities in the natural sciences, but dispensible or even deleterious in the humanities and the social sciences. And he has the chutzpah to accuse us of insulting our humanist colleagues?

Alan Sokal

Jean Bricmont
