Noam Chomsky:

Rebellion oder Untergang!

Ein Aufruf zu globalem Ungehorsam zur Rettung unserer Zivilisation

Eindrücklich wie nie zuvor klärt Chomsky über die existenziellen Bedrohungen durch Atomwaffen und den Klimawandel auf. Er stellt diese Bedrohungen in den Kontext einer nie dagewesenen Macht der Konzerne und einer zunehmend global vernetzten rechten Elite von der Republikanischen Partei bis zur AfD. Noam Chomsky fordert eine linke Gegenbewegung nach dem Vorbild von DiEM25, um Menschen aufzuklären und Regierungen zu zwingen, sich den beispiellosen Herausforderungen für das Überleben unserer Zivilisation zu stellen.

Mit umfassendem Interview nach der US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2020 – exklusiv in der deutschen Ausgabe.

A Livable Future Is Possible addresses artificial intelligence and the potential for such programs to surpass humans in cognitive awareness; what lies ahead for a world engulfed in a deadly climate crisis; the rise of neo-fascism internationally, and why we should organize across borders to confront it; the striking similarities between Trump and Biden's foreign policies; and a number of other critical issues gripping the planet. Noam Chomsky has been an incomparable model of moral clarity and intellectual courage during his many decades as a scholar and critic. He is the most cited living scholar. One would be hard-pressed to find a more influential voice than Chomsky’s in the West. A Livable Future Is Possible is not only an urgent and informative resource, it is a call-to-action for those hoping to help carry the torch of one of history’s greatest minds.

Dense and hardly introductory linguistics, Chomsky's essays clearly and persuasively establish the limits to human understanding and language, an epistemological box called biology.

Reports of the death of Noam Chomsky appear to be untrue. The New Statesman and Jacobin published obituaries for the 95-year-old linguist, philosopher, activist and intellectual, who is known to have had a stroke last year, however Cauê Seigner Ameni, editor of Jacobin Brasil tweeted that he has spoken to Chomsky's wife, Valerie, and he is alive. The New Statesman has now taken down its obituary, while Jacobin has given its tribute a new headline: "Let’s Celebrate Noam Chomsky, the Intellectual and Moral Giant."

I may not have agreed with every one of his positions in later life but Noam Chomsky was one of the defining people in opening my eyes to the world as it is versus how I’d taken it to be at face value (as someone who didn’t have to question it while growing up in a relatively privileged environment).

Rest in peace, Noam. The world has lost a great mind and an even greater conscience today.
