FOR REASONS OF STATE
₨ 995An essential record of Chomsky’s political and social thought as it was sharpened on the upheavals in domestic and international affairs of the early 1970s, For Reasons of State includes articles on the war in Vietnam and the “wider war” in Laos and Cambodia, an extensive dissection of the Pentagon Papers, reflections on the rote of force in international affairs, essays on civil disobedience and the role of the university, and a now-classic introduction to anarchism. These contributions reveal very different • facets àf Chomsky’s power as a thinker, from his uncanny ability to join abstract philosophical considerations with the concrete political realities of his time, to his singular capacity to mount withering, fact-based critiques of American foreign policy. The second installment in a series of early Chomsky books that The New Press wilt reissue in the coming years, For Reasons of State is a major addition to the intellectual history of the Vietnam era.

PROBLEMS OF KNOWLEDGE AND FREEDOM
₨ 495From interpreting the world to changing it, this book is a synthesis of Chomsky’s early work on philosophy, linguistics and politics. Originally delivered in 1971 as the first Cambridge lectures in memory of Bertrand Russell, Problems of Knowledge and Freedom is a masterful and cogent synthesis of Noam Chomsky’s moral philosophy, linguistic analysis, and emergent political critique of America’s war in Vietnam. In the first half of this wide-ranging work, Chomsky takes up Russell’s lifelong search for the empirical principles of human understanding, in a philosophical overview referencing Hume, Wittgenstein, von Humboldt, and others. In the following half, aptly titled “On Changing the World,” Chomsky applies these concepts to the issues that would remain the focus of his increasingly political work of the period—his criticisms of the war in Indochina and the Cold War ideology that supported it, of the centralization of US decision-making in the Pentagon and the growing influence of multinational corporations in those circles, and of the politicization of American universities in the post- World War II years, as well as his analyses of the Cuban Missile Crisis and Nixon’s foreign policies.
