Noam Chomsky Ordre des livres

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.

Chomsky's incisive critique of American media, originally published in 1993, explores the manipulation and distortion of information. The reissue includes a new foreword by David Barsamian, highlighting the book's enduring relevance in today's landscape of disinformation and 'fake news'. It serves as a vital examination of media practices and their impact on public perception, making it a significant read for those concerned about the integrity of information in contemporary society.

The book features a dialogue between prominent thinkers exploring the complex and often contentious relationship between the Cuban Revolution and U.S. imperialism. It delves into the historical, political, and cultural implications of this interplay, offering insights into how these forces have shaped each other over time. Through their discussions, the authors aim to illuminate the broader themes of power, resistance, and the impact of ideology on both nations.

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, filozof, lingvista, společenský kritik a aktivista, a Robert Pollin v této knize mapují katastrofické důsledky nekontrolované změny klimatu a představují plán změny. Lidstvo musí přestat spalovat fosilní paliva a učinit tak způsobem, který zlepší životní úroveň obyvatel. To je cílem zelené dohody a, jak autoři objasňují, je to zcela proveditelné. Chomsky s Pollinem argumentují proti obavám, které vyplývají z přechodu na zelenou ekonomiku, a vysvětlují, jak tyto falešné obavy podporují popírání klimatu. Tato kniha ukazuje, jak lze politicky i ekonomicky překonat klimatickou krizi.

The goal of this contribution to the Elements series is to closely examine Merge, its form, its function, and its central role in current linguistic theory. It explores what it does (and does not do), why it has the form it has, and its development over time.

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.
