What I disagree with in this pomo proposition is when it is applied to the physical (or what are sometimes called "hard") sciences.
I think few pomo theoreticians know much about these sciences, since they probably tended to flunk math in their student days :-).
(Yes, I know they all quote Feierabend as their techie authority, but in philosophy quoting an authority doesn't count for diddly-squat -- it's the quality of your arguments.)
