Teodros Kiros Conversations with Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky is among the leading thinkers across the globe over the last century. Conversations with Noam Chomsky bolsters this assertion. The book is a deft exploration into Chomsky’s views on the distinction between linguistic philosophy and the philosophy of language, consciousness, machines, the ethics of artificial intelligence in the wake of ChatGPT, the relationship between the heart and the mind, and the stakes of disciplines and canon formation for knowledge and human transformation. Language, ultimately, is the fulcrum of Chomsky’s thought, as is language for intellectuals such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sylvia Wynter, and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. Teodros Kiros, esteemed Africana philosopher and interviewer, has done us a great service in bringing the best of Chomsky’s ideas in an exciting, accessible manner.
