Noam Chomsky (b.1928)

Tonight, we wander through the luminous corridors of the mind with Noam Chomsky as our guide, exploring the profound depths of language and thought. Drifting from the groundbreaking Syntactic Structures into the reflective pools of Language and Mind, we unearth how language mirrors our cognitive landscapes, revealing universal grammars soft whispers across humanitys diverse tongues. As the gentle currents of understanding carry us forward, Chomskys theories refine into a delicate critique of media in Manufacturing Consent, where truths are softly sculpted by unseen hands. Let us unfurl these intricate thoughts like night-blooming flowers, discovering tranquility in the intellectual embrace.This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
