Neil Smith Chomsky: Ideas and Ideals
Cambridge University Press 1999-09-09 0521475708 / 9780521475709 Paperback Near fine n/a Paperback
New. Remainder mark, else fine in publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Smith's book is both informative and thought-provoking. Those interested in an overview of Chomsky's work will find what they are looking for if they are willing to go with the pro-Chomskyan attitude that Smith has adopted and does not seek to conceal. The book's major strength is its big-picture perspective - an intriguing combination of problems of linguistic knowledge, philosophy, and politics. In this sense, ideas and ideals unite to form an ideology that both builds on and transcends other models of human nature.' The Linguist Chomsky has had a major influence on modern linguistics, psychology, and philosophy. In this rigorous yet accessible account of Chomsky's work, Neil Smith analyzes Chomsky's key contributions to the study of both language and the mind. He gives a detailed exposition of Chomsky's linguistic theorizing, and examines the ideas for which he is best known. Finally, Smith examines Chomsky's political ideas and how these fit intellectually with his scholarly work. Throughout, Smith explores the controversy surrounding Chomsky's work, and explains why he has been both adulated and vilified.
