The Chomsky–Foucault debate was a debate about human nature, between Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault in the Netherlands, in November 1971.

Historical debate! Great philosophical dicussion on the structure-agency-problem and the challenges to scatch an alternative to the hierarchical and capitalist status quo.

You've reached the end.
