The Chomsky - Foucault Debate

Recently I have been reading a book entitled teh Chomsky - Foucault Debate on human nature.  In 1971 Anarchist Noam Chomsky debated Marxist Michel Foucault.  Noam Chomsky a professor at MIT spoke English in the debate.  Michel Foubault (1926-1984) held a chair in the History of Systems of Thought at the College de France spoke French during the debate.  The debate took place in Holland and was broadcast on Dutch television.  While I do not agree with the philosphy of either thinker I find their debate fasinating.  I am amazed at their intellect and all that is said about human nature in this debate.  The dimensions of the debate certainly have an impact on linguistics, political science and of course human nature.  It gives insight into modern discussion on these items but it also says something about the nature of humanity itself that such an amazing debate would take place at all.  More on this later - I have to run and as you might have guessed my computer/web skills are severely limited.
