Abstract

This research paper, explores the relationship between the political thinking of Noam Chomsky and the theory of justice by John Rawls, establishing a critical dialogue between both perspectives to identify areas of convergence and divergence. The objective is to analyze how Chomsky’s ideas about justice, democracy, and moral responsibility can contribute to the reflection on Rawls’ theory. While Chomsky is primarily recognized for his work in linguistics and social critique, his work also encompasses a rich political theory that asserts that the powerful use ideology to maintain control over society. On the other hand, Rawls is renowned for his theory of justice as fairness, which focuses on the need to organize societies in a way that provides all individuals with a fair opportunity to achieve their objectives.
