- Noam Chomsky Defines What It Means to Be a Truly Educated Person | “To clarify, Chomsky paraphrases a ‘leading physicist’ and former MIT colleague, who would tell his students, ‘it’s not important what we cover in the class; it’s important what you discover.’ On this point of view, to be truly educated means to be resourceful, to be able to ‘formulate serious questions’ and ‘question standard doctrine, if that’s appropriate’…. It means to ‘find your own way.’ This definition sounds similar to Nietzsche’s views on the subject, though Nietzsche had little hope in very many people attaining a true education. Chomsky, as you might expect, proceeds in a much more democratic spirit.”
