Chomsky vs. Foucault

Chomsky vs. Foucault

I always find this debate interesting. For some, it will appear dated, but it really is worth watching. For my students, try to pay attention to the different ways in which they conceive of “human nature” (or reject the concept altogether), the ways human beings are positioned in the social world, the differences in the capacities attributed to them (and the origins of these capacities), and/or the different ways in which they are seen to have (or not have) control over their lives (agency).
