Noam Chomsky
Avram Noam Chomsky (in inglese: [noʊm ˈtʃɒmski]; in ebraico: [ˈnoʔam ˈχomski]; Filadelfia, 7 dicembre 1928) è un linguista, filosofo e attivista statunitense. Docente emerito di linguistica al Massachusetts Institute of Technology, è riconosciuto come il fondatore della grammatica generativo-trasformazionale, spesso indicata come il più rilevante contributo alla linguistica teorica del XX secolo. Parallelamente a ciò, Chomsky è noto per il suo attivismo ed impegno politico, d'ispirazione socialista libertaria. La costante e aspra critica nei confronti della politica estera di diversi Paesi, in particolar modo degli Stati Uniti d'America, così come l'analisi del ruolo dei mass media nelle democrazie occidentali, lo hanno reso uno degli intellettuali più celebri e seguiti della sinistra radicale mondiale.
