| Summary |
One of the most gifted thinkers of our time, Noam Chomsky has revolutionized our understanding of language, its use and its acquisition. Now, Language and mind brings Chomsky into your classroom, where he takes your students on a guided tour through his epoch-making ideas. The theories of Noam Chomsky propose that the human brain is endowed with an innate "language faculty" and that part of this biological endowment is a set of principles common to all languages--otherwise known as the "theory of Universal Grammar. "From Aristotle to Gallileo to Descartes to Hume--to the cognitive revolution of the 1950s and the most recent work in clinical and developmental psychology--Chomsky charts the history of philisophical inquiry in the nature of Language and Mind. Never before or again will Noam Chomsky make such a presentation available on video. A foundational and essential presentation for curricula in linguistics, psychology, or philosophy, this provocative presentation will inspire your students to discuss, debate, and rethink the nature of language and mind. |
