Noam Chomsky: On Power, Knowledge and Human Nature

An examination and defense of the political analyst’s ideas about power, knowledge, and human nature in the context of contemporary debates about naturalism in social and political thought, illustrating the ways in which Chomsky’s ideas defend naturalist approaches to social inquiry. Deals with his critical writings on social and political issues as well as his prescriptive and normative ideas on libertarian socialism and human emancipation.
