This is a charming and insightful contribution to an understanding of the "e;Science        Wars"e; between postmodernist humanism and science, driving toward a resolution of the        mutual misunderstanding that has driven the controversy. It traces the root of        postmodern theory to a debate on the foundations of mathematics early in the 20th        century, then compares developments in mathematics to what took place in the arts        and humanities, discussing issues as diverse as literary theory, arts, and        artificial intelligence. This is a straightforward, easily understood presentation        of what can be difficult theoretical concepts It demonstrates that a pattern of        misreading mathematics can be seen both on the part of science and on the part of        postmodern thinking. This is a humorous, playful yet deeply serious look at the        intellectual foundations of mathematics for those in the humanities and the perfect        critical introduction to the bases of modernism and postmodernism for those in the        sciences.
