In 'Objectivity and Liberal Thought,' Noam Chomsky examines the role of left-wing intellectuals in the face of the Vietnam War and the Spanish Civil War. This essay, originally published in English and censored in Spain during the Franco regime, offers a strong critique of the liberal intelligentsia that justified military intervention in Vietnam. This edition rescues a text by Chomsky on the Spanish Civil War, revealing a controversial analysis of Gabriel Jackson's book 'The Spanish Republic and the Civil War (1931-1939)'.
Avram Noam Chomsky is an American intellectual, philosopher, linguist, political activist, and social critic. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Among the most cited living authors, Chomsky has written more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, and politics. In addition to his work in linguistics, since the 1960s, Chomsky has been an influential voice on the American Left as a consistent critic of the foreign policy of the United States, contemporary capitalism, and corporatocracy.
