Zwischen Paranoia und Klamauk, Idealismus und Anarchie, Groucho Marx und dem Una-Bomber – in seinem neuen Roman bewährt sich Thomas Pynchon als grandioser letzter Vertreter der Postmoderne

The following piece, though never previously attributed to Wells, is identifiable as his on grounds of style and content. Under the same heading as above, it appeared in the Saturday Review, 79 (June 22, 1895):815. Wells had been contributing speculative essays on scientific subjects and the occasional review of scientific--or pseudo-scientific--books to SR ever since Frank Harris had taken over its editorship late in the preceding year: and three months before this review-article on Woman's Share in Primitive Culture was published, he assumed the post of SR's principal reviewer of fiction with a sardonic assault on the sexual morality of Grant Allen's The Woman Who Did (see note 3). Here he turns a skeptical eye on one of the principal works of the American ethnologist Otis Tulton Mason (1878-1908) and debunks, in typically Wellsian fashion, its ideological presuppositions--in particular, its pretensions to scientific objectivit

It is not uncommon, in the context of academic debates over computer science and Web standards topics, to see the publication of one or more "considered harmful" essays. These essays have existed in some form for more than three decades now, and it has become obvious that their time has passed.
Maybe Rorty mistook his own easygoing temperament—with its lovely bias toward intellectual honesty, toward intellectual modesty, toward intellectual openness—as guarantor of the general base line respect necessary to building meaningful consensus.
