I don't understand the physics, but wasn't Newtonian physics transcended long before post-structuralism (by Einstein, a socialist, for one)? I'm not convinced by Irigarary that the _particular_ obstacle to better physics was masculinity, but in any case, I don't see how the _general_ point about the social construction of science and the rejection of pretensions to objectivity is a (new) achievement. Engels discussed flows in _Dialectics of Nature_, and Marx's _Capital_ is all about bourgeois objectivity.
