This critical assessment brings together over 100 papers by leading contemporary philosophers and linguists on every area of Chomsky's work, revealing how pervasive his influence has been on all aspects of modern thought. The four volumes examine aspects of Chomsky's contribution to linguistics (including mathematical linguistics), intellectual history, philospphy and "Freud's problem." Also examined is Chomsky's impact on contemporary thought, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence, biology, cognitive neurology, cognitive psychology, anthropology, law and theology.
