Norman Levitt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norman Jay Levitt is a mathematician at Rutgers University. He received a PhD from Princeton University in 1967. He has been a prominent figure in the science wars, often arguing against relativism and for the objective nature of science. He is a firm believer in the scientific method and its ability to uncover the truth. His opponents are prominent left wing academics, which he refers to collectively as the "academic left," a term which he admittedly says does not possess firm boundaries and refers to most opponents of scientific neopositivism.
He has published the following books:
- Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels With Science (1994) (with Paul R. Gross)
- The Flight from Science and Reason (1997)
- Prometheus Bedeviled: Science and the Contradictions of Contemporary Culture (1999)
