Synopsis "La Responsabilidad de los Intelectuales (in Spanish)"

A lo largo de su trayectoria política, Chomsky ha abordado de manera directa la cuestión de cuál es la verdadera responsabilidad de los intelectuales en dos ocasiones, dos escritos ya canónicos dentro de su prolífica obra, recogidos en este volumen y acompañados de un nuevo prefacio del autor. A finales de los años sesenta, al calor de la guerra de Vietnam, Chomsky denunciaba las vergonzosas políticas del Gobierno estadounidense y el no menos vergonzante papel de ciertos intelectuales al respaldarlas. En 2011, tras el «asesinato planificado» de Osama bin Laden, reflexionaba sobre la pertenencia de los intelectuales a la clase de los privilegiados y su obligación de cuestionar a las autoridades. Más relevante hoy que nunca, este libro nos recuerda que los privilegios «brindan oportunidades, y las oportunidades conllevan responsabilidades». Todos tenemos elección, incluso en tiempos desesperados.

Noam Chomsky (born in 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, and political activist, considered one of the most influential intellectual figures of the 20th century. He revolutionized linguistics with his theory of generative grammar, introduced in Syntactic Structures (1957), and further developed in Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965). His approach transformed the study of language, linking it to cognition and the human mind. In 2019, he was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Humanities for his exceptional contributions to the study of human language.

In addition to his work in linguistics, Chomsky is known for his critique of the media and US foreign policy. Along with Edward S. Herman, he co-wrote Manufacturing Consent (1988), where they present the model of media propaganda. Other notable works include Hegemony or Survival (2003), which analyzes US foreign policy, and Reflections on Language (1975), where he defends a rationalist perspective on human nature. His output spans political essays, linguistics, and philosophy, consolidating his legacy as a critical and multidisciplinary thinker.
