Summary/Abstract: Known, among intellectuals, particularly for his work in the field of philosophy of language, Noam Chomsky was also noted for his concerns regarding political activism. In this respect, the major influences that shaped his thought were two major political doctrines: liberalism and anarchism. Of course, it’s not just about the influence of the anarchists and classical liberalists of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, but also the influence of twentieth century liberalism, represented by Bertrand Russell. This paper examines some of the similarities shared by both chomskyan and russellian lines of thought.
