Language And Responsibility by Noam Chomsky
A collection of incisive essays and lectures arguing that human language is best explained by an innate generative capacity rather than by behaviorist or purely empiricist accounts; it defends transformational‑generative grammar, emphasizes the creativity and structural constraints of linguistic competence, critiques prevailing methodologies in psychology and linguistics, and explores the philosophical and scientific implications of studying language for our understanding of mind, knowledge, and human nature.
