Noam Avram Chomsky Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Alex Carey untersucht, wie Unternehmen, PR-Agenturen und politische Eliten die öffentliche Meinung systematisch manipulieren, um ihre Interessen durchzusetzen. Er offenbart damit eine wenig bekannte, aber entscheidende Dimension moderner Demokratie: die stille, aber effektive Kontrolle durch wirtschaftliche Propaganda. Basierend auf jahrzehntelanger Forschung untersucht dieses Buch die Rolle von PR, Think Tanks und Massenmedien bei der Verbreitung und Verfestigung neoliberaler Ideologien und beleuchtet die Ursprünge moderner PR-Techniken, den Einfluss von Konzernen auf Medien und Bildung sowie die subtilen Mechanismen, mit denen kritisches Denken verhindert wird. Ein ebenso aufschlussreicher wie beunruhigender Blick hinter die Kulissen der Meinungsbildung - aktueller denn je. "Ein einzigartig wichtiges Werk über das 'Ideal einer durch Propaganda gesteuerten Demokratie." Noam Chomsky "Eine einzigartige Studie über das Wachstum und die Entwicklung von Unternehmenspropaganda in westlichen Demokratien. Sie kommt zur rechten Zeit und ist für jeden nützlich, der sich über den Einfluss von Methoden der Massenüberredung auf die Untergrabung der Demokratie Gedanken macht." Elaine Bernard, Harvard University "Für jeden, der besser verstehen möchte, wie umfassend und wie psychologisch tiefreichend gegenwärtige Methoden der Bewusstseinsformung sind, ist das Buch von Carey eine unverzichtbare Lektüre." Rainer Mausfeld

The book delves into the complexities of 'human intervention' as employed by Western powers, examining its implications and contradictions. Chomsky critiques the moral justifications for interventions in various global crises, including Afghanistan, Libya, Palestine, Syria, and Ukraine. An updated foreword by Jean Bricmont highlights the continued relevance of Chomsky's analysis, reinforcing his sharp critiques of Western foreign policy and the ethical dilemmas surrounding humanitarian interventions.

Critiquing U.S. military and economic actions globally, Chomsky and Robinson argue that the American pursuit of dominance has caused widespread chaos without enhancing national safety. They reveal how U.S. elites perpetuate myths about democracy to justify harmful foreign policies, with a focus on conflicts like those in Iraq and Afghanistan. The authors warn that these narratives are driving the U.S. toward dangerous confrontations with Russia and China, while also exacerbating threats like nuclear proliferation and climate change. This work serves as a critical examination of American ideals and their consequences.

Noam Chomsky examines the crumbling of the social fabric and the fractures of the Biden era, including the halting steps toward a Green New Deal, the illegitimate authority of the Supreme Court, in particular its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19. Chomsky also untangles the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions among the United States, China, and Russia, and considers the need for climate action on an international scale. Illegitimate Authority exposes those who wield power in their own self-interest and plots framework for how we can stand together and fight against injustice.

« Le contrôle idéologique est beaucoup plus important dans les démocraties que dans les États où la domination se fonde sur la violence, et il y est par conséquent plus raffiné et plus efficace.Pour ceux qui recherchent obstinément la liberté, il ne peut y avoir de tâche plus urgente que d’arriver à comprendre les mécanismes et les méthodes de l’endoctrinement. Ce sont des choses faciles à saisir dans les sociétés totalitaires, mais elles le sont beaucoup moins dans le système de "lavage de cerveau sous régime de liberté" auquel nous sommes soumis et que nous servons trop souvent en tant qu’instruments consentants ou inconscients. »

Die Medien haben die Macht, einen gesellschaftlichen Konsens herzustellen, der den herrschenden wirtschaftlichen und politischen Interessen folgt - und nutzen sie. Diese Einflussnahme erfolgt jedoch keinesfalls durch verschwörerische Mächte im Hintergrund, sondern durch die ökonomischen Bedingungen der Medienlandschaft, die Chomsky und Herman schonungslos analysieren. Mit Manufacturing Consent legten sie ihr heute weltberühmtes Werk zur Medienkritik vor, das als der Klassiker zum Thema gilt - und nichts an Aktualität verloren hat. Die Autoren zeigen auf, auf welche Weise in den Medien Themen ausgewählt und besprochen werden, und machen so die Doppelmoral und die auf den Status quo ausgerichtete Voreingenommenheit sichtbar, die den Darstellungen der so viel gepriesenen „freien Presse“ zugrunde liegen.

Taming the Rascal Multitude is a judicious selection of essays and interviews from Z Magazine from 1997 to 2014. In each, Chomsky takes up some question of the moment. The essays provide an historical overview of the history that preceded Trump and the reaction to Trump. The essays situate what followed even without having known what would follow. They explicate what preceded the current era and provide a step-by-step revelation or how-to for successfully comprehending social events and relations. They are a pleasure to read and they educate.

Two of our most celebrated intellectuals grapple with the uncertain aftermath of the American collapse in Afghanistan Not since the last American troops left Vietnam have we faced such a sudden vacuum in our foreign policy--not only of authority, but also of explanations of what happened, and what the future holds. Few analysts are better poised to address this moment than Noam Chomsky and Vijay Prashad, intellectuals and critics whose work spans generations and continents. Called "the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet" by the New York Times Book Review, Noam Chomsky is the guiding light of dissidents around the world. In The Withdrawal, Chomsky joins with noted scholar Vijay Prashad--who "helps to uncover the shining worlds hidden under official history and dominant media" (Eduardo Galeano)--to get at the roots of this unprecedented time of peril and change. Chomsky and Prashad interrogate key inflection points in America's downward spiral: from the disastrous Iraq War to the failed Libyan intervention to the descent into chaos in Afghanistan. As the final moments of American power in Afghanistan fade from view, this crucial book argues that we must not take our eyes off the wreckage--and that we need, above all, an unsentimental view of the new world we must build together.

The broad range and brilliance of Chomsky's thought and analysis is on full display in this collection of interviews with his long-time collaborator/interlocuter David Barsamian.

Eindrücklich wie nie zuvor klärt Chomsky über die existenziellen Bedrohungen durch Atomwaffen und den Klimawandel auf. Er stellt diese Bedrohungen in den Kontext einer nie dagewesenen Macht der Konzerne und einer zunehmend global vernetzten rechten Elite von der Republikanischen Partei bis zur AfD. Noam Chomsky fordert eine linke Gegenbewegung nach dem Vorbild von DiEM25, um Menschen aufzuklären und Regierungen zu zwingen, sich den beispiellosen Herausforderungen für das Überleben unserer Zivilisation zu stellen. Mit umfassendem Interview nach der US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2020 – exklusiv in der deutschen Ausgabe.

In The Precipice, Noam Chomsky sheds light into the phenomenon of Trumpism, exposes the catastrophic nature and impact of Trump’s policies on people, the environment, and the planet as a whole, and captures the dynamics of the brutal class warfare launched by the masters of capital to maintain and even enhance the features of a dog-eat–dog society to the unprecedented mobilization of millions of people against neoliberal capitalism, racism, and police violence.

An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works, based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series 'What is Politics?' Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society. 'Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands.' How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of 'common sense' is actually driven by the ruling classes' needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet? Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections between neoliberal 'common sense' and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.

An engaging conversation with Noam Chomsky—revered public intellectual and Manufacturing Consent author—about climate change, capitalism, and how a global Green New Deal can save the planet. In this compelling new book, Noam Chomsky, the world’s leading public intellectual, and Robert Pollin, a renowned progressive economist, map out the catastrophic consequences of unchecked climate change—and present a realistic blueprint for change: the Green New Deal. Together, Chomsky and Pollin show how the forecasts for a hotter planet strain the imagination: vast stretches of the Earth will become uninhabitable, plagued by extreme weather, drought, rising seas, and crop failure. Arguing against the misplaced fear of economic disaster and unemployment arising from the transition to a green economy, they show how this bogus concern encourages climate denialism. Humanity must stop burning fossil fuels within the next thirty years and do so in a way that improves living standards and opportunities for working people. This is the goal of the Green New Deal and, as the authors make clear, it is entirely feasible. Climate change is an emergency that cannot be ignored. This book shows how it can be overcome both politically and economically.

Kdo tenkrát před dvaceti lety hrubě porušil mezinárodní právo a bez jakéhokoliv mandátu OSN zaútočil pod smyšlenou záminkou na suverénní evropský stát a zničil ho? Neposlušné Srbsko nebylo ochotné se podřídit diktátu USA. Podepsat mírový plán s nepřijatelnými podmínkami, např. i rozmístění cizích vojsk v Kosovu. Tato oblast byla posledním koutem Evropy, která se nepodřídila neoliberálním programům USA, neproběhly v ní ekonomické ani sociální reformy. Noam Chomsky je jedním z nejznámějších a nejcitovanějších intelektuálů naší doby. Svým politickým aktivismem patří k ostrým kritikům amerického imperialismu a mediální propagandy, přestože sám je Američan. Kniha je komplexní analýzou všech jeho textů a veřejných rozhovorů o Jugoslávii.

Ktože to pred dvadsiatimi rokmi hrubo porušil medzinárodné právo a bez akéhokoľvek mandátu OSN zaútočil pod vymyslenou zámienkou na suverénny európsky štát a zničil ho? Neposlušné Srbsko nebolo ochotné podriadiť sa diktátu USA a podpísať „mierový plán“ s neprijateľnými podmienkami /napr. aj rozmiestnenie cudzích vojsk v Kosove/. Táto oblasť bola posledným kútom Európy, ktorá sa nepodriadila neoliberálnym programom USA, neprebehli v nej ekonomické ani sociálne reformy. Noam Chomsky je jeden z najznámejších a najcitovanejších intelektuálov našej doby, svojím politickým aktivizmom patrí k ostrým kritikom amerického imperializmu a mediálnej propagandy, hoci sám je Američan. Kniha je komplexná analýza všetkých jeho textov a verejných rozhovorov o Juhoslávii.

Du 10 au 13 octobre 1975, les participants à ce débat se réunirent à l'abbaye de Royaumont, autour de Jean Piaget et de Noam Chomsky. Ce livre est issu de la seule rencontre personnelle qui ait jamais eu lieu entre le fondateur de l'épistémologie génétique et celui de la linguistique générative, c'est-à-dire de deux systèmes conceptuels, voire deux « philosophies », qui ne cessent d'inspirer depuis leur première formulation d'innombrables travaux scientifiques un peu partout dans le monde.Des chercheurs de tous pays attachés ont pris une part active à ce débat, élargissant son horizon et permettant d'en dégager une synthèse qui n'a pas, à ce jour, d'équivalent.

Wieso amerikanische und israelische Interessen einen Frieden mit den Palästinensern verhindern und auch in Zukunft verhindern werden: Chomsky zeigt eine verschworene Gemeinschaft, die ohne seine Analyse kaum zu durchschauen ist. Der Nahost-Konflikt zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern – ein Thema ohne Ende und ohne Hoffnung? Chomsky erläutert innen- und außenpolitische Entwicklungslinien in den USA und in Israel, die zu einer verschworenen Gemeinschaft geführt haben. Er zeigt die strategischen Interessen der USA im Nahen Osten, die grundsätzliche Einigkeit der israelischen Parteien über den Umgang mit den Palästinensern und erläutert das Problem der israelischen Atomwaffen. »Kein Frieden in Nahost« versammelt Noam Chomskys wichtigste Gedanken zu diesem kontroversen Thema, das auch kommende Generationen noch beschäftigen wird. Ein Buch von andauernder Aktualität.

Noam Chomsky ist einer der wichtigsten Denker der Gegenwart. Der emeritierte MIT-Professor am weltbekannten Massachusetts Institute of Technology gilt als ein "Mann für alles". In diesem Buch spricht Chomsky über die großen Fragen: Warum herrscht auf unserer Welt weiterhin so viel Ungleichheit? Leben wir bereits in der Dystopie? Steht die Menschheit am Rande der Selbstauslöschung? Warum begehren die "99 Prozent" nicht gegen die "Eliten", die "Herren der Menschheit", wie Chomsky sie einst nannte, auf? Kaum jemand kann all dies besser beurteilen als Noam Chomsky, der fast ein ganzes Jahrhundert Revolution, Revolte, Krieg und Zerstörung hinter sich hat und dennoch optimistisch ist. Das sollte uns alle ermutigen weiterzumachen, denn einen anderen Ausweg haben wir nicht.

The Balkans, in particular the turbulent ex-Yugoslav territory, have been among the most important world regions in Noam Chomsky's political reflections and activism over the past couple of decades. Through his articles, public talks, and correspondence, he has been addressing some of the crucial political and social issues (such as the relevancy of international law in today's politics, media manipulations, and economic crisis as a means of political control) that affect both the region and the international community. This volume provides a comprehensive survey of virtually all of Chomsky's texts and public talks that focus on the region of the former Yugoslavia, from the 1970s to the present. With numerous articles and interviews, this collection presents a wealth of materials appearing in book form for the first time along with reflections on events 25 years after the official end of communist Yugoslavia and the beginning of the war in Bosnia.

This third edition features Noam Chomsky's influential essays exploring the intricate relationship between language and the human mind. Updated in 2006, it includes two new chapters that expand on his groundbreaking theories, along with a fresh preface that contextualizes his work within contemporary discussions in linguistics and cognitive science. Chomsky's insights continue to challenge and inspire readers, making this collection a vital resource for understanding the complexities of language.

An essential guide to geopolitics in 2017 -- and how we should be fighting back -- from the world's leading public intellectual What kind of world are we leaving to our grandchildren? How are the discontents kindled today likely to blaze and explode tomorrow? From escalating climate change to the devastation in Syria, pandemic state surveillance to looming nuclear war, Noam Chomsky takes stock of the world today. Over the course of ten conversations with long-time collaborator David Barsamian, spanning 2013-2016, Chomsky argues in favour of radical changes to a system that cannot possibly cope with what awaits tomorrow. Interwoven with personal reflections spanning from childhood to his eighth decade of life, Global Discontents also marks out Chomsky's own intellectual journey, mapping his progress to revolutionary ideas and global prominence.

Vo svojej knihe Rekviem za americký sen: 10 princípov koncentrácie bohatstva a moci sa Noam Chomsky venuje utopickej predstave súčasného neoliberalizmu a kapitalizmu, ktorú dáva do nevšednej súvislosti s reálnym stavom americkej ekonomiky a spoločnosti. Postupne v nej rozoberá aj historický prechod k súčasnému politickému systému Spojených štátov od jeho počiatkov v druhej polovici 18. storočia, ktorý v konečnom dôsledku viedol k stabilizovaniu ideológie neoliberalizmu v americkej spoločnosti, kultúre a politike. Vysvetľuje, ako veľké korporácie indoktrinujú verejnosť, akadémiu a médiá pre podporu projektu, ktorý devastuje nižšie a stredné triedy populácie Spojených štátov. To celé Chomsky uchopuje a segmentuje do desiatich základných princípov, ktoré prispievajú k výraznému rozširovaniu príjmovej nerovnosti medzi vrstvami americkej spoločnosti. Medzi tieto princípy patria: redukovanie demokracie, tvarovanie ideológie, prestavovanie ekonomiky, prenášanie bremena, útočenie na solidaritu, riadenie regulačných úradov, konštruovanie volieb, držanie populácie v jednej línii, fabrikovanie súhlasu a marginalizácia populácie. Každý z týchto princípov Chomsky dôkladne popisuje a svoje tvrdenia podporuje prostredníctvom širokej palety rôznych primárnych zdrojov, od Aristotelovej Politiky, cez prejavy Martina Luthera Kinga Jr, až po sociologické štúdie Martina Gilensa a Benjamina Pagea.

Wide-ranging interviews on war, power, and politics with Noam Chomsky, the world's leading critic of US foreign policy.

For over fifty years, one fact has dominated global politics- the United States can respond to any challenge to its power however it sees fit. Whatever the world may think, US actions are legitimate simply because they say so. With charateristic clarity and authority, Chomsky takes American imperialism head-on. From Edward Snowden and Palestinian-Israeli relations to political philosophy and how we structure democracy, Because We Say So offers a cross-section of perspectives on the question of America's ongoing hegemony.

Who Rules the World is the essential account of geopolitics right now - including an afterword on President Donald Trump Noam Chomsky: philosopher, political writer, fearless activist. No one has done more to question the hidden actors who govern our lives, calling the powers that be to account. Here he presents Who Rules the World?, his definitive account of those powers, how they work, and why we should be questioning them. From the dark history of the US and Cuba to China's global rise, from torture memos to sanctions on Iran, this book investigates the defining issues of our times and exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of America's policies and actions. The world's political and financial elite are now operating almost totally unconstrained by the so-called democratic structure. With climate change and nuclear proliferation threatening our very survival, dissenting voices have never been more necessary. Fiercely outspoken and rigorously argued, Who Rules the World? is an indispensable guide to how things really are.

Noam Chomsky, a pivotal figure in modern linguistics, cognitive science, and political theory, presents a comprehensive reflection on his extensive research in these fields. In accessible language, he discusses over fifty years of advancements in language study, exploring its origins, the connection between language and thought, and its biological underpinnings. Chomsky critiques various alternative theories that prioritize social, communicative, and referential aspects of language, highlighting how recent discoveries challenge previous assumptions. He examines the scope and limitations of human cognitive abilities, drawing on the history of science and philosophical insights. Transitioning from language and cognition to societal and political themes, he offers a philosophical defense of "libertarian socialism," linking it to anarchism and the ideas of notable thinkers like John Dewey, Marx, and Mill. Chomsky illustrates how this position has evolved from historical contexts and its relevance to contemporary issues. Through this exploration, he invites readers to consider the intricate relationship between language, thought, and society.

For decades, Noam Chomsky has been considered one of the most important critics of American's foreign policy in Central and Latin America and yet Turning the Tide is one of his only written works which makes that region its sole focus. At last back in print after almost thirty years, Turning the Tide explores such neglected but vital issues as Jimmy Carter's interventions in El Salvador, the violation of human rights in Nicaragua and Guatemala, and American involvement with death squads in many countries including Bolivia and El Salvador. For all activists and scholars whose work focuses on Central and Latin America, Turning the Tide remains essential.

The second volume of The Political Economy of Human Rights remains one of the most controversial works produced by Chomsky to date. In a much discussed chapter on Cambodia, Chomsky and Herman questioned official Western narratives on the Khmer Rouge and suggested that the evidence available did not match up to the assertions being made at that time. These claims would resurface in a recent controversy with the Continental philosopher Slavoj Zizek and readers will now be able to judge for themselves the veracity of Zizek's claims. The work also contains important analysis of Western interventions across Indochina, including Vietnam and Laos, and provides a searing critique of American imperial aspirations in the region.For too long now, many important books by Noam Chomsky have been left to languish. Introducing Pluto's 'Chomsky Perspectives' series: a collectible, beautiful new list, with cover design by David Pearson. Including both enduring favourites and neglected essentials, these books will appeal to the serious Chomsky reader.

Was immer die Welt denken mag, die Handlungen der USA sind gerechtfertigt. Weil wir es so sagen", schreibt Noam Chomsky und demaskiert damit die imperiale Attitüde der Großmacht. Es ist diese US-amerikanische Herrschaftsmentalität, die den weltweit prominenten Kritiker immer noch dazu antreibt, mit messerscharfen und teilweise ironisierenden Kommentaren gegen die Zustände auf dieser Welt anzuschreiben. Der Band „Weil wir es so sagen" versammelt die wichtigsten Schriften Chomskys, die er seit 2011 verfasst hat. Er beschäftigt sich darin u.a. mit dem Kampf um Libyen, der Sanktionspolitik gegen den Iran, der israelischen Bombardierung Gazas, dem Krieg in der Ukraine oder auch dem Zusammenbruch des öffentlichen Bildungssystems in den USA und der Verfolgung des Aufdeckers Edward Snowden.

On Palestineis Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé's indispensable update on a suffering region. Operation Protective Edge, Israel's most recent assault on Gaza, left thousands of Palestinians dead and cleared the way for another Israeli land grab. The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater. Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss the road ahead for Palestinians and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against the people of Palestine. This urgent and timely book offers hope and a way forward for all those committed to the struggle to liberate Palestine. On Palestineis the sequel to Chomsky and Pappé's acclaimed book Gaza in Crisis. 'Noam Chomsky is a global phenomenom.' The New York Times Book Review 'Ilan Pappé is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.' John Pilger

The collection features essays by Noam Chomsky spanning from 1969 to 2013, many published as a book for the first time. Through incisive analysis, Chomsky critiques state power and imperial arguments, dismantling the myths that serve to uphold the privilege of a select few while neglecting the broader needs of the populace. His work offers a thought-provoking examination of the dynamics between power structures and societal interests.

Based on firsthand reporting from Syria and throughout the Middle East,Inside Syriaunravels the complex dynamics underlying the Syrian Civil War. Through vivid, on-the-ground accounts and interviews with rebel leaders, regime supporters, and Syrian president Bashar al-Assad himself,veteran journalist Reese Erlichgives the reader a better understanding of this momentous power struggle and why it matters.Through his many contacts inside Syria, the author reveals who is supporting Assad and why; he describes the agendas of the rebel factions; and he depicts in stark terms the dire plight of many ordinary Syrian people caught in the cross-fire. The book also provides insights into the role of the Kurds, the continuing influence of Iran, and the policies of American leaders who seem interested only in protecting US regional interests.Disturbing and enlightening at once, this timely book shows you not only what is happening inside Syria but why it is so important for the Middle East, the US, and the world.

Výbor textů amerického jazykovědce a filosofa Noama Chomského zahrnuje jeho klíčové společenskokritické texty napříč časovými obdobími (od šedesátých let až po současnost). V jednotlivých esejích se vyrovnává s různými tématy – od role univerzit a intelektuálů, přes alternativní výklad studené války, až po vztahy mezi světovým Severem a Jihem a izraelsko-palestinský konflikt či hodnocení různých tradic politického myšlení. Věnuje se i propojení své lingvistické práce s politickým myšlením na pojmu svobody a jeho vztahu k lidské přirozenosti. Pokouší se také o formulaci politických alternativ zakotvených v anarchistické tradici, kterou reinterpretuje jako antielitářskou pokračovatelku liberalismu a libertariánskou verzi socialismu. Jednotícím motivem jeho textů je kritika elitářského pojetí demokracie, které je podle něj ústřední charakteristikou demokracie v USA a jejich vnitřní i zahraniční politiky. Toto elitářské pojetí demokracie podle Chomského omezuje a podvazuje ty části společnosti, které jsou vnímány jako její kritické instance – ať už se jedná o univerzity, média anebo intelektuální život.

Admired by some, condemned by others, and feared by all—the military might of the West is undeniably colossal. In On Western Terrorism , world-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky discusses Western power and propaganda with filmmaker and investigative journalist Andre Vltchek. It offers the perfect introduction to Chomsky’s significant political thought and provides an accessible approach for anyone who wishes to better understand the West’s fraught role in the world. Beginning with stories of the New York newsstand where Chomsky started his political education as a teenager, the discussion broadens out to encompass colonialism, imperial control, propaganda, the Arab Spring, and drone warfare. Chomsky and Vltchek offer a powerful critique of the legacy of colonialism, touching upon many countries including Syria, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Chile, and Turkey. Updated with a fresh design and a new foreword by Chomsky, On Western Terrorism remains an influential and powerful critique of the West’s role in the world, inspiring all who read it to think independently and critically.

Eine durchdringende, Illusionen auflösende Betrachtung über die Bedeutungen von Demokratie, Freiheit und Erziehung. Noam Chomsky, der moderne Vertreter des klassischen Liberalismus und der Aufklärung, in hohem Maße beeinflusst durch Bertrand Russell und John Dewey, befasst sich in dieser Ausgabe vorwiegend mit drei Themengebieten: Politik, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft (Einleitung und Kapitel 7 - 20) Erkenntnis, Wissen, Wissenschaft (Kapitel 1 - 6) Sprache, Bildung, Unterricht (Kapitel 21 - 25)

This title offers a vital overview of the foundations of Noam Chomsky's thought, focusing in particular on his constant questioning of the legitimacy of entrenched power. The book gathers his essays and interviews to provide a short, accessible introduction to his distinctively optimistic brand of anarchism.

V knihe rozhovorov, uskutočnených v rokoch 2010 – 2012, sa Noam Chomsky zaoberá aktuálnymi a naliehavými otázkami súčasnosti: budúcnosťou demokracie v arabskom svete, európskou finančnou krízou, kolapsom amerických politických inštitúcií, vznikom a pôsobením hnutia Occupy. Osvedčená autorská dvojica Noam Chomsky a David Barsamian je zárukou vysokej kvality spoločenského diskurzu na rozličné témy. Chomsky, ako vždy, ponúka hlboký a zasvätený pohľad na príčiny krízy, s ktorou sa momentálne konfrontujeme, či už doma alebo v zahraničí, nekompromisne poukazuje na neduhy americkej spoločnosti. Kniha len potvrdzuje, že Chomsky je nevyčerpateľným zdrojom poznatkov pre každého, kto chce pochopiť zložitosť súčasného sveta.

Exploring the intricate connections between language, mind, and brain, this 2002 work by Noam Chomsky delves into the cognitive processes underlying linguistic capabilities. Chomsky presents his theories on how language shapes thought and perception, offering insights into the nature of human cognition and the neurological foundations that support linguistic development. Through this examination, he challenges existing paradigms and invites readers to reconsider the fundamental aspects of language acquisition and its implications for understanding the human mind.

Автор считает одинаково регрессивными идеологии государственного социализма и государственного капитализма, а государство будущего связывает с развитием либертарианства как логического продолжения идей классического либерализма. Для специалистов

Noam Chomsky, 1928 in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA) geboren, lehrt seit 1961 als Professor für Linguistik am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Durch seine linguistischen und sprachphilosophischen Arbeiten von paradigmatischer Bedeutung und aufgrund seines politischen Engagements zählt Noam Chomsky zu den herausragenden Intellektuellen der Gegenwart, dessen Schriften ebenso wie seine öffentlichen Interventionen eine weltweite Aufmerk-samkeit und Rezeption erfahren haben. Mit diesem Band liegen endlich die beiden aus Anlaß seiner Albertus-Magnus-Professur 2011 an der Universität zu Köln gehaltenen Vorlesungen sowie Auszüge einer ergänzenden Mitschrift des anschließenden Seminars in deutscher Übersetzung vor.

With urgency and clarity, Noam Chomsky speaks with the movement as it transitions from occupying tent camps to occupying the national conscience

Chomsky presents short, forceful commentaries on U.S. politics, from the domestic economic crisis to Obama's strategies in Afghanistan and around the world.

Surveying the fallout of Israel's conduct in Operation Cast Lead, Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappe place the massacre in Gaza in the context of Israel's long-standing war against the Palestinians."

In 9-11, published in November 2001 and arguably the single most influential post 9-11 book, internationally renowned thinker Noam Chomsky bridged the information gap around the World Trade Center attacks, cutting through the tangle of political opportunism, expedient patriotism, and general conformity that choked off American discourse in the months immediately following. Chomsky placed the attacks in context, marshaling his deep and nuanced knowledge of American foreign policy to trace the history of American political aggression--in the Middle East and throughout Latin America as well as in Indonesia, in Afghanistan, in India and Pakistan--at the same time warning against America’s increasing reliance on military rhetoric and violence in its response to the attacks, and making the critical point that the mainstream media and public intellectuals were failing to make: any escalation of violence as a response to violence will inevitably lead to further, and bloodier, attacks on innocents in America and around the world. This new edition of 9-11, published on the tenth anniversary of the attacks and featuring a new preface by Chomsky, reminds us that today, just as much as ten years ago, information and clarity remain our most valuable tools in the struggle to prevent future violence against the innocent, both at home and abroad.

THE ESSENTIAL INTRODUCTION TO CHOMSKY'S POLITICAL IDEAS With exceptional clarity and power of argument, Noam Chomsky lays bare as no one else can the realities of contemporary geopolitics.

One of the foremost critics of U.S. foreign policy delivers his insight into the ways that popular activism has led to substantial gains in freedom and justice around the world--and how those gains can be reached in the United States.

'The Essential Chomsky' assembles the core of his most important writings, including excerpts from his most influential texts over the past 40 years. Here is an unprecedented, comprehensive overview of Chomsky's thought.

Chomského kniha zásadných rozhovorov prináša čitateľovi najnovšie veľmi provokatívne, ale aj imaginatívne názory na najaktuálnejšie politické problémy doby. A tak, čitateľ môže sledovať vodopád jeho logicky vystavaných argumentov, postrehov, názorov a myšlienok. S Chomským možno nesúhlasiť, polemizovať, prieť sa, ale ignorovať jeho briskný intelekt, nepočúvať ho, neprieť sa s ním, znamená rezignáciu na kritické myslenie, zakrpatenie intelektuálneho diskurzu a nakoniec duchovnú stagnáciu. Je veľký predpoklad, že táto kniha by mohla oživiť jednostranný a upadajúci spoločenskovedný diskurz na Slovensku. O jeho pozitívnom dopade na kvalitu verejných rozpráv niet pochýb.

The volatile Middle East is a site of vast resources, profound passions, frequent crises, and long-standing conflicts, as well as a major source of international tensions and a key site of direct US intervention. Two of the most astute analysts of this part of the world are Noam Chomsky, the pre-eminent critic of US foreign policy, and Gilbert Achcar, a leading specialist of the Middle East who lived in that region for many years. In their new book, Chomsky and Achcar bring a keen understanding of the internal dynamics of the Middle East and of the role of the United States, taking up all the key questions of interest to concerned citizens, including such topics as terrorism, fundamentalism, conspiracies, oil, democracy and anti-Arab racism, as well as the war in Afghanistan, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the sources of US foreign policy. Timely, erudite and incisive, Perilous Power provides the best readable introduction for all who wish to understand the complex issues related to the Middle East from a perspective dedicated to peace and justice.

Two of Chomsky's most famous and accessible works available in an affordable and attractive edition.Described by the New York Times as "arguably the most important intellectual alive," Noam Chomsky is known throughout the world for his highly influential writings on language and politics. Featuring two of Chomsky's most popular and enduring books in one omnibus volume, On Language contains some of the noted linguist and political critic's most informal and accessible work to date, making it an ideal introduction to his thought.In Part I, Language and Responsibility (1979), Chomsky presents a fascinating self-portrait of his political, moral, and linguistic thinking through a series of interviews with Mitsou Ronat, the noted French linguist. In Part II, Reflections on Language (1975), Chomsky explores the more general implications of the study of language and offers incisive analyses of the controversies among psychologists, philosophers, and linguists over fundamental questions of language.

At a time when the United States exacts a greater and greater power over the rest of the world, America’s leading voice of dissent needs to be heard more than ever. In over thirty timely, accessible and urgent essays, Chomsky cogently examines the burning issues of our post-9/11 world, covering the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the Bush presidency and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. This is an essential collection, from a vital and authoritative perspective.

rozhovory o americkej moci v meniacom sa svete Titul Čo povieme, to platí je jedným zo série rozhovorov, v ktorých sa Noam Chomsky vyjadruje k aktuálnym politickým otázkam súvisiacim so zahraničnou politikou Spojených štátov amerických. Chomského za jeho odvahu a otvorenosť hovoriť o niektorých témach označujú aj ako „najužitočnejšieho občana Ameriky“. Iní sa o ňom vyjadrujú ako o „svetovom fenoméne“. V každom prípade, Chomsky patrí k najčítanejším autorom vo svojej oblasti. Aj predkladaný titul je vyváženým posúdením správania sa štátu, ktorý si naďalej myslí, že jeho poslaním je ovládať celý svet. V Chomskeho slovách objavíte muža, ktorý pociťuje hlboké sklamanie z toho, čo sa deje, a ktorý je frustrovaný z premrhaného potenciálu svojej krajiny. Napriek tomu môžeme objaviť v jeho úvahách nádej, ako aj konkrétne návrhy na riešenie niektorých problematických otázok. Či už bude čitateľ s Chomskym súhlasiť alebo nie, diela tohto významného mysliteľa našich čias sú minimálne akýmsi bezkonkurenčným podnetom na zamyslenie. Prvé vydanie

Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, William Blum, la premio Nobel Nadine Gordimer, Michael Parenti e Leonard Weinglass descrivono le gravi realtà delle aggressioni statunitensi contro Cuba dal 1898. Nel 1959, con il trionfo della Rivoluzione cubana, Washington ha implementato il terrorismo internazionale come strumento della sua politica estera, e la violenza è diventata una norma dottrinale negli affari mondiali. Viene anche esaminato il destino dei Cinque cubani, che si recarono negli Stati Uniti per indagare su gruppi terroristici in Florida e che poi ricevettero pene detentive a vita per averlo fatto. Salim Lamrani è un ricercatore presso l'Università della Sorbona di Parigi. Si è specializzato nelle relazioni tra Stati Uniti e Cuba dal 1959 e ha scritto articoli tradotti in diverse lingue e pubblicati in tutto il mondo.

In this collection of interviews, Noam Chomsky explores the world's most pressing questions with his trademark clarity and insight and presents a startling picture of America's relentless pursuit of power and its catastrophic consequences.

Noam Chomsky, ein bedeutender Intellektueller, hat in den letzten dreißig Jahren einflussreiche Werke zur Sprach- und Politikwissenschaft veröffentlicht. Bekannt für seine kritischen Ansichten zur US-Weltpolitik, zieht er ein breites Publikum an. "Eine Anatomie der Macht" versammelt seine wichtigsten Reden zu Themen wie Außenpolitik, Aktivismus und Meinungsfreiheit in einer leicht verständlichen Form.

The United States has long claimed the right to intervene militarily in "failed states" worldwide. In this anticipated follow-up to his bestseller, Noam Chomsky flips the narrative, illustrating how the U.S. itself exhibits characteristics of a failed state. He highlights a significant "democratic deficit," disregard for both domestic and international law, and policies that jeopardize its citizens and global stability. Analyzing recent developments in U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Chomsky warns of plans to further militarize the world, raising the specter of nuclear conflict. He critiques the consequences of the Iraq occupation, documents Washington's self-exemption from international standards like the Geneva Conventions and the Kyoto Protocol, and examines how the electoral system stifles genuine political alternatives, hindering true democracy. Forceful and meticulously researched, this work provides a thorough analysis of a superpower that seeks to reshape other nations while grappling with its own democratic crisis. By dismantling the U.S.'s pretense as the world's democracy arbiter, Chomsky delivers his most focused and urgent critique yet.

Kde se vzal všudypřítomý terorismus? Proč žije svět ve strachu? Známou odpověď denně nabízejí oficiální média a politici západních mocností. S jinou přichází Noam Chomsky v knize Hegemonie nebo přežití. Je terorismem spíše odpálení bomby v autobuse anebo napadení státu, který pouze nehodlá sledovat politickou linii suveréna? Jistě obojí, ovšem následky jsou neporovnatelné. Kuba, Nikaragua, Panama, Vietnam, Irák - oficiálně vojenské intervence ve jménu světového míru. Podle Chomského však šlo o preventivní zničení narušitelů suverenity USA. Právě v touze Spojených států po světové hegemonii vidí autor největší nebezpečí pro Zemi. Jsou to USA, kdo terorismus živí a kdo jej, ovšem ve skutečně masovém měřítku, uplatňuje. Nenasytnost hegemona více než kdy jindy staví svět na hranu přežití. Nazrál čas, kdy by se uctivé přitakávání krokům USA mělo změnit v kritickou debatu. Tato kniha k ní vybízí....

Une analyse critique de la politique étrangère américaine, de ses ruptures comme de ses continuités historiques. <br /> <br /> La politique actuelle de l'administration Bush sur la scène mondiale constitue-t-elle une rupture avec la position traditionnelle des États-Unis ? Pour Noam Chomsky – qui signe là son premier grand essai depuis une quinzaine d'années –, la Stratégie de sécurité nationale adoptée en 2002 a eu de nombreux précédents dans la pratique des administrations passées, tant républicaines que démocrates. Ce qui est vraiment nouveau, c'est que cette attitude n'est plus déniée mais revendiquée ouvertement. Avec autant d'indignation que d'humour, Chomsky analyse le discours du projet américain, dont il souligne très efficacement l'illogisme et l'injustice. Hégémonie ou survie : tel est, selon Chomsky, le choix historique aujourd'hui, et nul ne sait quelle orientation va l'emporter. Traduit de l'anglais (Etats-Unis) par Paul Chemla

Noam Chomsky is one of the world's most vocal and erudite critics of governmental malfeasance past and present. His devastating analyses of the true motives behind global events reveal a picture very much at odds with that presented by the conventional media, and often politicians. This essay forms both an expanded introduction and afterword to Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival, published by Penguin in 2003.

In this classic talk delivered at the Poetry Center, New York, on February 16, 1970, Noam Chomsky articulates a clear, uncompromising vision of social change. Chomsky contrasts the classical liberal, libertarian socialist, state socialist, and state capitalist world views and then defends a libertarian socialist vision as "the proper and natural extension . . . of classical liberalism into the era of advanced industrial society."In his stirring conclusion Chomsky argues, "We have today the technical and material resources to meet man’s animal needs.We have not developed the cultural and moral resources or the democratic forms of social organization that make possible the humane and rational use of our material wealth and power.Conceivably, the classical liberal ideals as expressed and developed in their libertarian socialist form are achievable. But if so, only by a popular revolutionary movement, rooted in wide strata of the population and committed to the elimination of repressive and authoritarian institutions, state and private. To create such a movement is a challenge we face and must meet if there is to be an escape from contemporary barbarism."

„Warum hassen Sie uns?“, fragte George W. Bush nach dem Anschlag vom 11. September 2001. Die Antort fiel ihm nicht schwer: Finstere Feinde - Kommunisten einst, Fundamentalisten jetzt - hassen die freiheitliche Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft, deren hoch aufragende Kathedralen ihnen ein Dorn im Auge sind. Wohingegen die USA überall auf der Welt, wo sie eingreifen, Frieden, Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit verteidigen oder herstellen und jedenfalls, auch wenn es einmal misslingt, mit der besten Absicht handeln. Seine Mission vertritt Bush zu Beginn einer zweiten Amtszeit überzeugter denn je: „Amerikas Einfluss ist nicht unbegrenzt. Aber zum Glück für die Unterdrückten ist der Einfluss bedeutend und wir werden ihn im Einsatz für die Freiheit selbstbewusst anwenden.“

A collection of previously unpublished interviews presents the critical thoughts of the noted scholar and activist on American foreign policy in the increasingly unstable global community following September 11th.

V roce 1971 se Noam Chomsky a Michel Foucault zúčastnili televizní debaty v Holandsku, která představovala střet dvou významných myšlenkových směrů. Chomsky, lingvista a politický aktivista, vycházel z racionalistické tradice a optimistického pohledu na lidskou přirozenost a možnosti společnosti. Naopak Foucault, filozof zpochybňující zavedené normy, upozorňoval na mocenské vztahy a dominantní diskurzy, které ovlivňují lidskou činnost. Debata se nejprve soustředila na lidskou přirozenost, jazyk a dějiny vědy. Chomsky obhajoval tvořivou podstatu člověka a jeho schopnost rozvíjet vědění, zatímco Foucault kritizoval pojem lidské přirozenosti a zdůrazňoval význam kolektivního vědění. V druhé části se oba myslitelé zaměřili na politiku a společenskou změnu. Chomskyho anarchistické pojetí socialismu kontrastovalo s Foucaultovým maoistickým marxismem. Jejich výměna názorů se stala pokračováním diskuse o lidské přirozenosti a způsoby, jak dosáhnout změny ve společnosti. Český překlad obsahuje také dvě eseje, které debatu interpretují z různých politických perspektiv. Politolog Pavel Barša přistupuje k tématu z pohledu postrevoluční politiky, zatímco Ondřej Slačálek z časopisu A-kontra zvažuje možnosti světové revoluce.

Pirates & Emperors, Old & New constitutes a collection of extended essays written between 1986 and 2001 which explore how "selected incidents of terrorism" are used as a cover for Western violence across the globe.

For those who want to understand the roots of American military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, recent interventions in Libya, and the on-going destruction of Palestine this collection remains invaluable.This edition first published 2002.

"'Der wichtigste Intellektuelle überhaupt' wurde Noam Chomsky einst von der New York Times genannt. Kaum übertrieben, denn welcher Denker kann sonst von sich behaupten, dass ein Staatsoberhaupt eines seiner Bücher vor laufenden Kameras der UN-Vollversammlung ans Herz legte. Chomskys Werk ist einzigartig und monumental: als Linguist leitete er mit seinem Konzept der generativen Transformationsgrammatik den 'Linguistic Turn' ein, der wie eine Erdbebenwelle durch die Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften lief. Das breite Spektrum seiner Tätigkeiten macht ihn zusammen mit Marx, Shakepeare und der Bibel zum meistzitierten Menschen überhaupt (The Guardian). Als Aktivist und politischer Kommentator ist er schon zu Lebzeiten zur Ikone der Globalisierungskritik geworden. Seine Bücher liefern den Kritikern von Kapitalismus und Imperialismus die diskursive Munition, während ihr Autor bei seinen Auftritten Konferenzsäle zum Bersten bringt. Am 7. Dezember 2008 wird Noam Chomsky 80 Jahre alt, und orange-press ehrt den intellektuellen Superstar mit einer Neuausgabe von 'absolute Noam Chomsky'. Ein 'absolute'- Band in neuer Aufmachung mit dem besten aus Chomskys Büchern, einer Biografie und einem Interview."

s/tReflections on Justice and Nationhood. Middle East Illusions offers chapters written by Chomsky just before the 2000 Palestinian Intifada and up through October 2002, when 9-11 and a prospective U.S. military campaign against Iraq add new pressures to age-old conflicts. The book also includes the full text of Chomsky's earlier book, Peace in the Middle East? Reflections on Justice and Nationhood, written during the crucial period spanning the Six-Day and 1973 wars, which continue to define and deeply influence events in the Middle East today.

This work presents a significant exploration of the interplay between language and the mind, offering fresh insights into philosophical inquiries. Chomsky delves into the cognitive aspects of language, challenging existing paradigms and proposing innovative theories. His arguments emphasize the innate structures of human cognition that shape linguistic ability, making it a crucial text for those interested in linguistics, philosophy, and cognitive science.

Porto Alegre, nel Sud del Brasile, è ormai diventato il punto di incontro per tutte le persone impegnate, a vario titolo, a fronteggiare e sanare le profonde ferite sociali inferte dalla nuova economia globalizzata. Lì Gianni Minà ha incontrato molti rappresentanti del vasto e composito movimento "no global" e, intervistandoli, ha cercato di fare il punto della situazione sulle questioni più urgenti e gravi, dalla mancanza d'acqua per miliardi di persone alla tragedia delle vittime di guerra.
