Noam Chomsky, widely regarded as one of the most influential public intellectuals of our time, has profoundly transformed modern linguistics. His thought has left an indelible mark on the philosophy of language, mind, and science, as well as the interdisciplinary field of cognitive science, which he played a pivotal role in establishing. In this comprehensive Companion, dedicated to his extensive body of work and its far-reaching influence, an international assembly of esteemed linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists delve into the interdisciplinary scope of Chomsky's intellectual contributions.
The Companion strikes a balance between theoretical rigor and accessibility to non-specialists, structured into eight sections. These sections encompass the historical development of Chomsky's theories, the current state-of-the-art in his field, comparisons with rival usage-based approaches, and the relationship between his generative approach and research in linguistic processing, acquisition, semantics, pragmatics, and philosophy of language. Later chapters explore Chomsky's rationalist critique of behaviorism and related empiricist approaches to psychology, as well as his unwavering commitment to a Galilean methodology in cognitive science.
Following a brief exploration of the interplay between his linguistic work and his political perspectives, the book concludes with an essay penned by Chomsky himself, offering a personal reflection on the history and essence of his intellectual endeavors.
A Companion to Chomsky constitutes a substantial contribution to the study of Chomsky's thought, serving as an invaluable resource for philosophers, linguists, psychologists, advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and general readers with a keen interest in Noam Chomsky's intellectual legacy as one of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century.
