1975 book by Noam Chomsky
Reflections on Language is a 1975 book in which MIT linguist Noam Chomsky argues for a rationalist approach to human nature . Under this approach, specific capabilities are innate to humans, as opposed to an empiricist approach in which there is no innate human nature but rather a "blank slate " upon which psychological and social forces act. The New York Times selected the book as among the year's best.[ 2]
