摘要
本文力求通过对原著的解读来考察乔姆斯基语言学研究和政治学研究之间的联系。本文认为乔姆斯基用于解决“柏拉图问题”的语言研究和解决“奥威尔问题”的政治研究之间确实存在一种非直接的联系 ,它们是一个总的研究项目———关于人的本质的研究———的前后两个组成部分 ,连接这两个部分的是乔姆斯基唯理主义思想关于人的本质的看法 ;在具体的研究中 ,乔姆斯基的语言研究对他的政治观点产生重大影响。
This article rethinks the way Chomsky the linguist and Chomsky the political activist are related. It suggests that we see his linguistic interest in terms of a search for a solution to 'Plato's Problem' and his political interest as a search for a solution to 'Orwell's Problem.' Both 'Problems' are subsumed under a unified project to explore and construct 'human nature', and the search for their solution is predicated on the same rationalist assumptions he holds on such a 'nature.' In addition, the author also argues that Chomsky's ideas about language have been exerting a significant influence on his vision of an ideal social system.
