Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, and activist. A Emeritus Professor at MIT, Chomsky is regarded as one of the fathers of modern linguistics and as a major contributor to analytical philosophy. Chomsky is self described as a libertarian socialist and has been critical of the US foreign policy since the Vietnam war. He has also been critical of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

Chomsky published more than 150 books and was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar from 1980 to 1992. He is also the eighth most cited source of all time, and is considered the "most cited living author". Some of his latest books are 'American Power and the New Mandarins' and 'Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel’s War Against the Palestinians (with Illan Pappé)'.
