I finally finished my qualifying exams for my doctorate, and was able to make a short visit to Philadelphia before my defense. On a drive through the city, we came across this large mural of Noam Chomsky on the side of a building in the Fairmount section. We thought it was pretty cool - stay tuned for more soon...!

Excellently done representation. I'll have to look for it next time in Philly. However, from what I've read in philosophy of language it seems that Chomsky's nativism views of language acquisition have fallen out of favor in contemporary philosophy.
ReplyDeleteHe has contributed to debate significantly, but the quote on the Mural is bit pretentious imo!
ReplyDeleteYou should check out the Hacktory, which is nearby( around 2 blocks), great stuff going on there!
