- The father of modern linguistics - he is a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science
- He holds a joint appointment as Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Laureate Professor at the University of Arizona
- Author of more than 100 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media
- Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism
- Interest in anarchism - Born to Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants in Philadelphia, Chomsky developed an early interest in anarchism from alternative bookstores in New York City
- Studies - He studied at the University of Pennsylvania. During his postgraduate work in the Harvard Society of Fellows, Chomsky developed the theory of transformational grammar for which he earned his doctorate in 1955
- That year he began teaching at MIT, and in 1957 emerged as a significant figure in linguistics with his landmark work Syntactic Structures, which played a major role in remodeling the study of language
- From 1958 to 1959 Chomsky was a National Science Foundation fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study
- He created or co-created the universal grammar theory, the generative grammar theory, the Chomsky hierarchy, and the minimalist program
- Chomsky also played a pivotal role in the decline of linguistic behaviorism, and was particularly critical of the work of B. F. Skinner
- An outspoken opponent of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, which he saw as an act of American imperialism, in 1967 Chomsky rose to national attention for his antiwar essay "The Responsibility of Intellectuals"
- Associated with the New Left, he was arrested multiple times for his activism and placed on President Richard Nixon's Enemies List. While expanding his work in linguistics over subsequent decades, he also became involved in the linguistics wars
- The propaganda model - In collaboration with Edward S. Herman, Chomsky later articulated the propaganda model of media criticism in Manufacturing Consent and worked to expose the Indonesian occupation of East Timor
- His defense of freedom of speech, including Holocaust denial, generated significant controversy in the Faurisson affair of the 1980s. Since retiring from MIT, he has continued his vocal political activism, including opposing the 2003 invasion of Iraq and supporting the Occupy movement. Chomsky began teaching at the University of Arizona in 2017

Quotes
-
The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants, and aliens, the more you control all the people.
-
For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian societies, much less so in the system of "brainwashing under freedom" to which we are subjected and which all too often we serve as willing or unwitting instruments.
-
The country was founded on the principle that the primary role of government is to protect property from the majority. And so it remains.
-
Education is a system of imposed ignorance.
