Consent Without Consent: Essays and Lectures, 1969–2013 (chomsky Series)
About This Novel
Chomsky, who was named "one of the most important challengers of unfair forces and fallacies" by Edward Said, helps you see through the evil tricks of hegemony in seven articles. Spanning fifty years of accumulation, each chapter is to the point. Chomsky, the outstanding rationalist, pointed out that the basic concern of intellectuals must be to "tell the truth and expose lies." Consent Without Consent is a collection of selected articles and speeches published by Noam Chomsky from 1963 to 2013. In this book, Chomsky, in his usual poignant style, challenges authority, questions and explores the responsibilities of intellectuals and the methods of practicing them. In these articles, Chomsky examines the nature of state power, the ideological debates behind the Cold War, and war and terrorism, and reemphasizes moral and controversial factors that have long been ignored and misrepresented. Chomsky critiques prevailing arguments about capitalism and empire and explodes myths that protect the power and privilege of the few while ignoring the interests and influence of the many. At the same time, he also discussed realistic issues such as "human intelligence and the environment", "intellectuals and welfare-war states" and "the current status of civilization under existing capitalism".
