Abstract

Noam Chomsky is a distinguished linguist, philosopher, cognitive psychologist, and political activist. A professor emeritus in linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Chomsky has written over 100 books and countless other publications. As a libertarian socialist with provocative political views and one that is guided by democratic ideals, a search for truth, and a quest for freedom, Chomsky’s work principally focuses on concepts related to linguistics, cognition, education, and public policy (Hill, 2001).
