Remembering Noam Chomsky
Manage episode 428361425 series 2359458
Episode Notes
In this episode, we reflect on the work and ideas of Noam Chomsky, the esteemed linguist and public intellectual, who recently suffered a stroke which has rendered him unable to participate in public discourse. Chomsky has been a beacon of inspiration and insight for many on the Left for decades, and his absence is being deeply felt.
We delve into some of Chomsky's core ideas — exploring his incisive critique of US foreign policy, his staunch defence of free expression, and the political philosophies that shaped his thought, from anarchism to Zionism. A fair number of biographical details also come up throughout the discussion, offering a look at the man behind the ideas.
