作为世界一流学府麻省理工学院的语言学和哲学教授，诺姆·乔姆斯基（Noam Chomsky）被公认为当代杰出的语言学家、哲学家、思想家和政论家，是当代反对西方霸权主义的泰斗，并因此被誉为“最伟大的持不同政见者”。数十年来，他一直出于知识分子的良知，坚持批判西方的新自由主义和民主制度的伪善，尤其是批评西方大国（特别是美国）的霸权主义行径。每当国际政治格局发生重大变化时，西方知识界往往率先关注他的表现。例如“9·11”事件之后他接受了几乎所有世界著名媒体的专访，对美国政府的外交政策予以严厉的批评。他对时事精辟独到的见解、对美国政治入木三分的批判，一直受到西方政治界和知识界的极大关注，他的著作也在西方知识精英群体中拥有广泛的读者和支持者。
