Philosophical essays to celebrate Chomsky's contributions

This collection of writings was compiled to honor the leading linguist Noam Chomsky. Reflections on Chomsky celebrates the linguist's contributions to the study of language, beginning in the 1950s. Essay contributors to the volume include: Sylvain Bromberger, Tyler Burge, Martin Davies, Michael Dummett, Jerry Fodor, James Higginbotham, Norbert Hornstein, Hilary Putnam and Crispin Wright.
