Sceptical aphorisms

It would be very helpful if we learned how to ask the right questions: What’s being said? What’s not being said? Learn to get to the essentials of the problem. (Al Seckel)

Welcome to The Skeptic Magazine (UK)

Prof Noam Chomsky - The Prolific Provocateur

Professor Noam Chomsky has been described as the world's greatest public intellectual. Born in 1928 in Philadelphia, Chomsky earned his academic stripes as a young linguistics professor at MIT in the 1950s. His theory of transformational grammar, forged at this time, posits that the capability to form structured language is innate to the human mind. But the general public first came to know Chomsky for his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam war. For more than 40 years, he has been the academy's loudest and most consistent critic of US policies at home and abroad.
