Chomsky with Lewis: Human Nature, Science and Language Origin

This article, in its first part, summarizes Noam Chomsky's ideas about human nature and their ethico-political consequences, language and its origin and the scope and limitations of science. Then, in the second part, and based on the author C.S. Lewis, a proposal will be made about the possible existence of an infused spiritual soul in humans and how it could connect with the linguist's ideas with respect to the origin of language. It will also serve to supply with some realism Chomsky's overly optimistic view about human nature.
