Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky (born December 7, 1928) is one of the world's most prominent and controversial public intellectuals. He is an internationally renowned professor of linguistics at MIT. You can find some about his political views here. You can see an interview with him on HardTalk and his view about 9-11. And here is his website and his profile on NNBD. "Noam Chomsky’s books are in print, much of his writing is Web-accessible, and there are his steady contributions to Z magazine. He can be viewed on film, video, and in cyberspace. But Chomsky is not a seer, nor is he prone to dispensing easily quotable maxims. What is to be done, of course, is up to us."

George Henrik von Wright (1916 - 2003)

Georg Henrik von Wright was a Finnish philosopher and logician the successor of the famous philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein at the University of Cambridge. You can find some info about him here and here. I heard firstly about him some years ago, when I started to read 'Language and Thought in Indian Culture' of our regretted Doctor and Orientalist, Sergiu Al-George. I recently found on-line two of his books: Norm and Action and The Varieties of Goodness.
