Avram Noam Chomsky is a prominent American professor, linguist, and public intellectual, renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to linguistics, political activism, and social criticism. Often referred to as the "father of modern linguistics," Chomsky has played a pivotal role in analytic philosophy and cognitive science. He serves as a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and is an emeritus institute professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he began teaching in 1955. Chomsky is the author of over 150 works addressing a variety of subjects including language, war, and politics. Since the 1960s, he has been a staunch critic of U.S. foreign policy, contemporary capitalism, and corporate power, gaining prominence for his anti-war essays and activism against the Vietnam War. He continues to engage actively in political discourse, advocating for social justice, and remains a leading voice in anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movements. His ideas have significantly shaped modern thought on language, cognition, and political theory, and he holds a critical perspective on issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and media representation.
