What Kind of Creatures Are We? (Columbia Themes in Philosophy)

This comprehensive collection of lectures by Noam Chomsky offers a lifetime of philosophical reflection on language, thought, and society.

With clear and precise language, Chomsky elaborates on 50 years of scientific development in the study of language, critiquing alternative theories and exploring the scope and limits of human cognitive capacities.

He also investigates the links between language and mind, society and politics, and traces the conceptual growth of his position on "libertarian socialism." This thought-provoking work is a must-read for anyone interested in language, philosophy, and the human condition.
