Chomsky’s Approch to Philosophical Inquiry

Text: sarthak.noblogs.org/post/2024...
Noam Chomsky's meta-philosophical commitments are analyzed and presented in a schematic form. The analysis is contrasted with Carnap's project and Chomsky's dissolution of the mind-body problem is also discussed in light of the schema.
This presentation is also intended to be a general introduction to Noam's philosophy of mind for people with some familiarity with Noam's technical work but without substantial engagement with it and its relation with his contemporaries.
