"Fort also had a small circle of literary friends and they would gather on occasion at various apartments, including his own, to drink and talk, which was tolerated by Anna." This is a very peculiar phrase. Do we know that Anna "tolerated" these gatherings? For all we know she enjoyed hosting her husband's friends. Methinks whoever wrote this phrase might be injecting their own personality in a place where objectivity and NPOV is called for. Kerry (talk) 23:26, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

I have added a bit to show the influence of Fort (usually subterranean) on contemporary philosophy of science. BScotland.
It seems to me that Fort was something of an early postmodern. Would this be a valid characterisation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.57.235.123 (talk) 04:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I think it's fairer and more accurate to typify Fort as a cultural visionary. He was interested in the same things that Umberto Eco or Thomas Pynchon would find interesting, but I don't necessarily think that he is "Post-Modern".67.0.213.91 (talk) 18:22, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
The guy who's whole thing was critiquing the cold objective pretense in the monism of science? Yeah, Fort was a huge postmodernist. Even had the polemic, meandering Continental style of writing. I don't know if it helps clean up this messy biographical article, but framing him as a postmodernist is definitely an accurate way to explain his critical philosophy.
