sarthak1682's review against another edition

Historical as the Debate was, I still don't understand how a Scholar, Foucault, doesn't get the Difference between "Description" and "Prescription". Chomsky defended his Position pretty damn well it seems. The Audience, in the Video, seemed very intent at listening, unlike the current Trend.

Needed to go through this after I had seen the debate on YouTube to better understand some things. Definitely made me want to go more in-depth with Foucault and drew my closer to Chomsky still.

Language and time limits left Foucault on the sidelines, so this is mostly Chomsky, but remains interesting.

Me sentí como en la clase de cálculo en la univ... Al final creo que no entendí un soberano carajo.

I didn't love how the essays and interviews in this book were arranged, but really enjoyed getting to understand a little more of Chomsky's work outside of linguistics.
My biggest takeaway is that often our differences in understanding come not from factual disagreement but from differences in the frameworks through which we talk about the world.
Chomsky believes that the human mind is predisposed to detect certain disciplines. He says, more or less, that the ability to categorize is at once mankind's greatest strength and one of our greatest obstacles. From behind the bars of our favored disciplines, there are some things we cannot understand.
