Noam Chomsky is widely known and deeply admired for being the founder of modern linguistics, one of the founders of the field of cognitive science, and perhaps the most avidly read political theorist and commentator of our time. In these lectures, he presents a lifetime of philosophical reflection on all three of these areas of research, to which he has contributed for over half a century. In clear, precise, and nontechnical language, Chomsky elaborates on fifty years of scientific development in the study of language, sketching how his own work has implications for the origins of language, the close relations that language bears to thought, and its eventual biological basis. He expounds and criticizes many alternative theories, such as those that emphasize the social, the communicative, and the referential aspects of language. Chomsky reviews how new discoveries about language overcome what seemed to be highly problematic assumptions in the past. He also investigates the apparent scope and limits of human cognitive capacities and what the human mind can seriously investigate, in the light of history of science and philosophical reflection and current understanding. Moving from language and mind to society and politics, he concludes with a searching exploration and philosophical defense of a position he describes as "libertarian socialism," tracing its links to anarchism and the ideas of John Dewey and even to the ideas of Marx and Mill, demonstrating its conceptual growth out of our historical past and urgent relation to matters of the present.Binding Type: Paperback

Purple Purple!!
Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Purple, Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Purple
Looks great!! I would say the color is like Crayola marker purple. It was easy to assemble straight out of the box. And a perfect size for my six person patio table. The weight of the fabric seems of high-quality and thickness. I would recommend as it seems to be a good value for the price point..

Vibrant backyard umbrella
Size: 9ft, Color: Lake Blue
The umbrella does its job, it tilts so you can position the umbrella to block the sun at all hours. The colors are vibrant and fabric is decent quality, I bought the turquoise this time and dark blue in the past, the fabric keeps cleans. The umbrella isn't heavy, easy to maneuver. This was a replacement for our previous umbrella which broke at the tilt joint, after a very windy day when we forgot to close it, but it lasted over a year and a half so no complaints there.

Nice Umbrella for the Price
Size: 9ft, Color: Red
Truly surprised at the quality of this umbrella. Great deal for the price. I did see some reviews prior to buying that there were issues with the tilting mechanism/crank so I am giving it a 4 until I have it for more than a few days to see how it all works out.

Honestly impressed would recommend
Size: 9ft, Color: Beige, Size: 9ft, Color: Beige
I’m honestly really impressed with this patio umbrella! It’s lightweight enough that it was easy to move and set up, but it still feels sturdy and stable once in place. The fabric material feels much nicer than the cheap plastic-like material some outdoor umbrellas use — it looks clean, durable, and gives really good shade.
The color is beautiful and works perfectly with outdoor spaces without looking harsh or too bright. It opens smoothly, provides a large amount of coverage, and has held up great in the sun and wind so far.
Definitely a thumbs up from me — great quality for the price and makes the whole patio area feel more relaxing and put together! ☀️👍
