Portrait of Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky is one of the most influential thinkers of the modern era, renowned for his pioneering work in linguistics and his incisive political commentary. His groundbreaking theories on language revolutionised the field, introducing the concept of an innate human capacity for grammar that reshaped our understanding of mind and communication.

Alongside his academic achievements, Chomsky is a tireless critic of power, media, and foreign policy, offering lucid analyses that challenge conventional narratives. His extensive body of work invites readers to question authority and to examine the structures that shape contemporary society, making his books essential reading for anyone interested in language, politics, and critical thought.

    Book SynopsisExplore freedom, power, and the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century with two extraordinary thinkersTwo world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to debate alternatives for the future: José “Pepe” Mujica, former President of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who acquired an international following for his message of sustainability and common sense, and Noam Chomsky, who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world. From the meeting of these peerless figures emerge reflections on the major global issues of our time: climate change, corruption, populism, the crisis of capitalism, and the logic of the market economy, among many others. Speaking especially to younger generations who inherited an unstable world, Chomsky and Mujica emphasize the values required to survive the challenges of the twenty-first century and to build a new world: democracy, freedom, humility, and friendship. Brought together by Mexican activist Saúl Alvídrez, Chomsky and Mujica offer a wise and passionate guide to salvaging the future.

    Book SynopsisNoam Chomsky's first book on syntactic structures is one of the first serious attempts on the part of a linguist to construct within the tradition of scientific theory-construction a comprehensive theory of language which may be understood in the same sense that a chemical, biological theory is understood by experts in those fields. It is not a mere reorganization of the data into a new kind of library catalogue, nor another specualtive philosophy about the nature of man and language, but rather a rigorus explication of our intuitions about our language in terms of an overt axiom system, the theorems derivable from it, explicit results which may be compared with new data and other intuitions, all based plainly on an overt theory of the internal structure of languages; and it may well provide an opportunity for the application of explicity measures of simplicity to decide preference of one form over another form of grammar.Trade Review"Chomsky's book on syntactic structures is one of the first serious attempts on the part of a linguist to construct within the tradition of scientific theory-construction a comprehensive theory of language which may be understood in the same sense that a chemical, biological theory is ordinarily understood by experts in those fields.

Lees in : 'Language' "I had already decided I wanted to be a linguist when I discovered this book. But it is unlikely that I would have stayed in the field without it.

    Book SynopsisEn este libro Noam Chomsky y Robert Pollin analizan la economía política del cambio climático y su imbricación con el modelo neoliberal de producción y la globalización financiera. Proponen como salida un Green New Deal, un Nuevo Acuerdo Ecológico mundial que lleve a la eliminación total de las emisiones de carbono hacia 2050. Esta salida, sostienen, solo será realista, justa y posible si asegura la superación de la terrible desigualdad social, la inequidad y el empobrecimiento de las mayorías que el imperio del neoliberalismo ha profundizado en las últimas décadas, y la creación de fuentes de trabajo y salarios dignos para todos.
