In this extraordinarily original and profound work, Noam Chomsky
discusses themes in the study of language and mind since the end of
the sixteenth century in order to explain the motivations and methods
that underlie his work in linguistics, the science of mind, and even
politics. This edition includes a new and specially written
introduction by James McGilvray, contextualising the work for the
twenty-first century. It has been made more accessible to a larger
audience; all the French and German in the original edition has been
translated, and the notes and bibliography have been brought up to
date. The relationship between the original edition (published in
1966) and contemporary biolinguistic work is also explained. This
challenging volume is an important contribution to the study of
language and mind, and to the history of these studies since the end
of the sixteenth century.
