Chomsky Notebook

Sobre el libro Chomsky Notebook de Jean Bricmont i Julie (ed.) Franck publicado por Columbia al 2010:

Noam Chomsky is as controversial as he is prolific, applying a rational, scientific approach to disciplines as diverse as linguistics, ethics, religion, and the strategy of war. Chomsky´s best-known innovations involve a groundbreaking theory of generative and universal grammar, major advances in the classification of languages, and a radical reformulation of political theory and practice.In Chomsky Notebook, Norbert Hornstein (University of Maryland) and Cedric Boeckx (Harvard University) tackle Chomsky´s linguistic theories; Akeel Bilgrami (Columbia University) revisits Chomsky´s work on freedom and truth; and Pierre Jacob (Institut Jean Nicod) analyzes his naturalism. Chomsky´s contributions include an interview and essays on Edward Said and the natural world. Altogether, these works reveal the penetration of Chomsky´s thought into a number of fields within and outside of academia. It is an anthology that proves the power of his rationalism.
