Review of Sokal & Bricmonts' _FASHIONABLE NONSENSE_ in NY Times Book Review

[Doug Henwood]

Excuse me for filing some late comments on ancient, now-yellowing threads,
but I just started reading David Harvey's Justice, Nature, & the Geography
of Distance on the plane back from Vancouver Wednesday. Harvey offers this
quote from Marx that reads like the perfect gloss on the Sokal affair:
"[The] weak points in the abstract materialism of natural science, a
materialism that excludes history and its proces, are at once evident from
the abstract and ideological conceptions of its spokesmen, whenever they
venture beyond the bounds of their own specialty."

Unfortunately, Harvey cites this as Marx (1967:352), which is rendered in
the bibliography - according to that spare British style - as "Marx, K.
(1967). Capital (three volumes), New York." Which isn't very helpful in
tracking down the original. Anyone recognize it?
