Reflections on Language

Reflections on Language is a 1975 book in which MIT 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.[1] The New York Times selected the book as among the year's best.[2]
