New York: Pantheon, 1975.
First edition of this work by the renowned linguist. Octavo, original boards. Signed by Noam Chomsky on the title page. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Small mark on copyright page as usual.
In this work linguist Noam Chomsky argues for a rationalist approach to human nature. Under this approach, specific capabilities are innate to humans, as opposed to an empiricist approach in which there is no innate human nature but rather a "blank slate" upon which psychological and social forces act. The New York Times selected the book as among the year's best.
