Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky is a linguist and writer whose work reshaped modern generative grammar and developed a sustained critique of political power, media, and foreign policy. Cartesian Linguistics A Chapter in the History of Rationalist Thought traces an intellectual lineage for ideas about language and mind. Fateful Triangle The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians examines policy, historical narrative, and the distribution of power in the Middle East. Hegemony Or Survival America's Quest for Global Dominance extends that critique to the strategic logic of American power, while Failed States The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy considers how democratic language can conflict with institutional practice. Cartesian Linguistics offers the clearest route into language; Fateful Triangle and Failed States provide contrasting scales for his political analysis.
