Chomsky is a renowned contemporary linguist and thinker. This book primarily focuses on his specific critiques of U.S. politics and foreign policy. Through a comprehensive interpretation of his works and employing research methods such as induction, it analyzes his overall thought, his views on human nature, the relationship between linguistic research and political research, and the influence of his linguistic research on political research. Based on this, the book summarizes and comments on his perspectives on U.S. domestic politics and specific foreign policies—such as the state, media, war, human rights diplomacy, trade liberalization, terrorism, and counter-terrorism. It also provides a comprehensive evaluation of his status and impact in the field of political research, thereby presenting Chomsky as a political commentator and international relations theorist in a true and complete manner to readers.
