First Edition of Problems of Knowledge and Freedom: The Russell Lectures; inscribed by Noam Chomsky
First edition of Chomsky's Russell lectures in honor of Bertrand Russell. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For John Best wishes Noam Chomsky." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Janet Halverson. Uncommon signed.
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 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.
