DESCRIPTION:Friday 9 December 2016, 7pm: Old Capitol Books and Direct Action Monterey 
 Network are hosting the twenty-third Theory and Philosophy Reading Group. 
 In this month’s reading group, we’ll be exploring one of the most 
 famous philosophical debates of the twentieth-century: the debate between 
 Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky.\n  \nThe debate was in 1971 on Dutch 
 television, and was hosted by the Dutch anarchist, Fons Elders. Though both 
 considered left leaning, Foucault and Chomsky held radically different 
 views of human nature and objective truth, arguing over the the role of 
 Enlightenment, biology, and modern science.\n  \n\nMichel Foucault agreed 
 to take part in the debates, and was paid in hash. He was a French 
 philosopher, philologist, social critic, and theorist. He considered his 
 work a critique of modernity, and has been very influential in theories of 
 post-anarchism.\n  \n\nNoam Chomsky is considered one of the world’s 
 leading intellectuals. He is a philosopher, linguist, and social critic. He 
 is currently Professor Emeritus at MIT and is one of the most cited 
 scholars of all time.\n\n  \nReadings and video available for free at
