ABSTRACT

Chomsky himself, directly to a truly radical project of dissident progressivism on a global scale. Such striking discrepancies between scientific ground and ethical derivative suggest that linguistic science may not be as effective as some might wish in providing a foundation for the law. Some thinkers, in fact, look to language to provide something else altogether-not a principle of foun-- dational rigor, and not a Humean guide to the law, but rather a kind of benign atmospheric influence that exerts an ethical pressure that leads us noncoer cively toward the good.
