NOAM CHOMSKY (1928), jazykovedec, filozof, kultúrny kritik a politický aktivista. Napísal viac ako sedemdesiat kníh a vyše tisíc článkov. Patrí medzi desať najcitovanejších autorov všetkých čias. Jeho teória jazykovej kompetencie, ako vrodenej, biologickej charakteristiky človeka tvorí jeden zo základov súčasnej kognitívnej vedy. Základnou myšlienkou, ktorá spája Chomského vedeckú prácu s jeho politickými aktivitami je, že všetko čo robíme, ako komunikujeme, ako poznávame svet vyplýva z našej ľudskej prirodzenosti. Tvorivosť, túžba po slobode a schopnosť spolupracovať sú vpísané do našej biologickej prirodzenosti rovnako ako schopnosť vytvárať nekonečné množstvo zmysluplných viet z konečného množstva slov, podľa malého počtu pravidiel.
