The Chomsky-Foucault Debate on Human Nature book 214 pages, 5x7", paperback (9 oz) $14.95

In 1971, during the Vietnam War and at a time of great political and social instability, two leading intellectuals, Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, debated the age-old question: is there such a thing as "innate" human nature independent from experiences and influence? The resulting dialog is one of the most original, provocative, and spontaneous exchanges to have occurred between contemporary philosophers, and serves as a concise introduction to their basic theories. What begins as a philosophical argument rooted in linguistics and the theory of knowledge, soon evolves into a discussion encompassing a wide range of topics; science, history, behaviorism, creativity, freedom, and the struggle for justice in the realm of politics.
