The mind against authority

Author's name: Noam Chomsky Publisher: Dar Al Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2014 Literary classification: Philosophy and Thought Brief about the book: The mind against authority - this is the title of Pascal's wager book that summarizes Chomsky's works and his life's path. Chomsky considers that the mind is the only weapon for intellectuals in facing challenges. While many contemporary intellectuals see that the mind may be a repressive weapon. Chomsky does not naively believe in the power of the mind, but he advocates for democracy, individual freedoms, and liberation. These values represent progress and require reconsideration of traditional authority structures, and this process becomes possible through rational and liberating criticism.
