Chomsky will need to be supplemented with a philosophy of personality.

The 'it', the unconscious.

Levinas goes to "the other." Chomsky thus falls in line with a long list of those who ever after Socrates and Plato sought the arche in the black box. Strauss, like Levinas, seeks it in the other, and of course his political philosophy greatly diverges from Chomsky.

I can read Steven Pinker, by the way, who does a better job than Chomsky at explaining what Chomsky means.
