Reseña del libro "Chomsky: Language, Mind And Politics, 2Nd Edition"
Noam Chomsky Has Made Major Contributions To Three Fields: Political History And Analysis, Linguistics, And The Philosophies Of Mind, Language, And Human Nature. In This Thoroughly Revised And Updated Volume, James Mcgilvray Provides A Critical Introduction To Chomsky`S Work In These Three Key Areas And Assesses Their Continuing Importance And Relevance For Today. In An Incisive And Comprehensive Analysis, Mcgilvray Argues That Chomskys Work Can Be Seen As A Unified Intellectual Project. He Shows How Chomsky Adapts The Tools Of Natural Science To The Study Of Mind And Of Language In Particular And Explains Why Chomsky`S Rationalist Approach To The Mind Continues To Be Opposed By The Majority Of Contemporary Cognitive Scientists. The Book Also Discusses Some Of Chomskys Central Political Themes In Depth, Examining How Chomsky`S View Of The Good Life And The Ideal Form Of Social Organization Is Related To And In Part Dependent On His Biologically Based Account Of Human Nature And The Place Of Language Within It. As In The First Edition, Mcgilvray Emphasizes The Distinction Between Common Sense And Science And The Difference Between Rationalist And Empiricist Approaches To The Mind, Making Clear The Importance Of These Themes For Understanding Chomsky`S Work And Showing That They Are Based On Elementary Observations That Are Accessible To Everyone. This Edition Has Been Extensively Re - Written To Emphasize Chomsky`S Recent Work, Which Increasingly `Biologizes` The Study Of Language And Mind And - By Implication - The Study Of Human Nature. This Book Will Be Of Interest To Students And Scholars Of Philosophy, Linguistics, And Politics, As Well As To All Those Keen To Develop A Critical Understanding Of One Of The Most Controversial And Important Thinkers Writing Today
