Book Overview

Chomsky and Deconstruction responds to Noam Chomsky's criticisms of deconstructive theorists by exploring the historical dimensions of Chomsky's own philosophy of language. Wise suggests that the Cartesian basis of the linguist's own thought complicates his claims to have escaped the ancient problems of metaphysics. This book offers a measured response to Chomsky's criticisms of deconstructive and empiricist theorists of language like Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Martin Heidegger, and Jacques Lacan and reveals the shared philosophical basis between linguistic theories and politics.
