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. He refers to his opponents collectively as the "academic left," a term which he admits does not possess firm boundaries, and in which he includes most opponents of scientific neopositivism.
