The Famous American Intellectual has been awarded the Albertus-Magnus Professor 2011 by the University of Cologne.
According to the New York Times, Noam Chomsky is "the most important intellectual alive" and has also been described as "one of the most articulate, committed and hard-working political dissidents of our time, MIT linguist and political philosopher."
From June 6th to June 8th, 2011, Prof. Dr. Noam Chomsky was a guest of the University of Cologne being the seventh Albertus-Magnus Professor. During his visit, he held one seminar and two public lectures ("Language and Other Cognitive Systems: What is Special about Language?" and "The Evolving Global Order: Prospects and Opportunities").

NOAM CHOMSKY is one of the few great people in the United States that is discussing American hegemony and leadership that is beside the point in global politics. He like most of us working toward human survival find ourselves in a political environment that is ineffectual in terms saving the planet. We realize that we must speak to the world in order that change take place more rapidly.
Everything this man says is astounding. Incredible.
MASTERFUL intellect and CLARITY of vision and VOICE: World WAKE UP!!!
prophetic!
back in the 90s, Dr. Chomsky wrote about Deterring Democracy and talked about the role of corporations and how they put profit before people. In 2011, it is difficult to deny these facts.
I was there. It was interesting how Chomsky verbalized views and facts about socio-political, geopolitical and economic issues that, when discussed by persons on the internet, are immediately discarded as "conspiracy theory". It was great to listen to him. Finally one of the very few intellectuals out there who're willing to name things as they are.
People may want to check out the Bill Moyers interview with Chomsky,
and Chomsky's debate with Richard Perle,
both available on RUclips.
Everything this man say astounding,I don't hate my country,just government
As always, great intellectual power, true and genuine human being for US and for the rest of the world
Great lecture.
Chomsky. Ich liebe dich.
@RSFO
I never said that the USSR gave Noam Chomsky power. I think you misunderstood something.
I would answer in Danish but I don't speak it. You should be happy to live in Denmark.
Beautiful country, smart government. I visited it a few times. We attended a concert once and some drunken guys suddenly started to throw full beer bottles on our girls. Out of nothing! That was a bit unpleasant but aside from that incident your country is pretty cool. ;-)
@CliveOlive Hmm?
@Supercraptastic My skepticism? Sorry I think you have misunderstood what I have said or got me mixed up with someone else here.
@JohnnyCash08 So how did the USSR give Noam Chomsky power? Noam Chomsky has always said that if Leninism is socialism, he is not a socialist. Marx was closer to Adam Smith than anything Lenin. I think Lenin was closer to the new socalled Neo-Liberalism than Adam Smith could have ever been. Because it is really Power Polytricks (Big Business) as oposed to authentic democracy. Besides Chomsky was outlawed reading in USSR (including his linguistics), because of his critical stance on them.
@MichaelStepkoff yes it does not have human concern, but we are part of a whole and we will not survive without everything else. even our rationality is not enough.
@k9a2g6 Thanks, will do. ;o)
@frankangelo1983
So?
@JohnnyCash08 you should watch some Star Trek.
@JohnnyCash08
Chomsky isn't a Marxist, he's an anarchist.
10 people run corporations!
@s0673451 thing is he's just picking up the tab on his predecessors, don't forget bertrand russell, albert einstein also fought for political rights (yes he was a socialist, they probably dont teach kids about his background in physics class)
also mark twain was doing his part during the 19th century, dont forget all of these guys
hopefully chomsky's successors will lead on in exposing the crimes of imperialism and educate the people before we see the rise of a world-fascist military gov't
@ABundy09 Compared to the original Athenian democracy, America barely has it at all. Granted the Athenians had a massive slave underclass, and only 30% of the people were "citizens" but that was thousands of years ago when such practices were the norm.
Buckley was out of his element.
@JohnnyCash08 Well I would propably not throw beer bottles at you, even if I think my government sux (I don't hate my country at all, just the government). ,-)
Dr. Chomsky has never denied Holocaust. Only an ignorant who hasn't read his work would make such claims. Dr. Chomsky does believe in the right to say (aka Freedom of Speech - expressing opinions that may not be favorable). That's the whole point of free speech, not just repeating state propaganda or accepted doctrines.
@BBOYMONI yeah he pays his taxes.... whats your point.... he's right
@MrSkeptic10 I have a different view, I believe that people who accuse Chomsky of manichean attitudes are cowards without conviction. If you are happy for others to suffer for your prosperity, own that truth. Don't start on about nuance and sophisticated analyses.
@rageagainstmytool Dont feed the trolls.
He's not an anarchist or a marxist. He's just a guy identifying problems (things most people would consider immoral), telling history. Why do people feel the need to lable everything.
@kidkurls
Smart kid. What are you trying to say? That a Jew can not be anti-semitic?!
@JohnnyCash08 noam chomsky IS jewish.
dammit america! if you didnt keep meddling all us europeans would be living in a socialist paradise by now!
