Naom Chomsky
Chomsky's contributions to the human sciences' cognitive revolution are well known.
His efforts have been essential in creating a new paradigm for cognitively approached language and cognition research.
Chomsky is a major figure in opposition to many facets of US foreign policy, contemporary capitalism, US engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel's role in the conflict, and the influence of mass media.
The anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist movements greatly benefit from Chomsky and his beliefs.
Chomsky has said that characterizing Israel's treatment of the Palestinians as apartheid, similar to the system that existed in South Africa, would be a "gift to Israel", as he has long held that "the Occupied Territories are much worse than South Africa"
For 40 years Noam Chomsky has turned out book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet and speech after speech with one message, and one message alone: America is the Great Satan; it is the fount of evil in the world.
The illustrious University of Arizona's Agnese Nelms Haury Program in Environment and Social Justice has named him the Agnese Helms Haury Chair since 2017.
