- W2334656026 abstract "In his remarks during the question-and-answer period of an address presented at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in April, 1977, Noam Chomsky (1977b) distinguished two opposing approaches to empirical facts: that of the historian, and that of the scientist. The former approach, according to Chomsky, values facts for themselves, privileges no fact over another, and strives to accumulate all possible facts without prior judgment as to their worth. The latter approach places no value whatsoever on facts alone, nor on simple generalizations from the facts, nor even on theories accounting inductively for the facts, but instead seeks to discover those large-scale principles from which the facts can be deduced. In the first case, facts are either passively revered without being used, or, when used, function as input to a data-modeling system. In the second case, facts are the output of a hypothetical system. Within the immediate context of his lecture, Chomsky names classical philologists, aphasiologists, phenomenal physicists, and sociolinguists, among others, as examples of natural historians, whereas generative linguists, particle physicists, solar astronomers, and rationalist philosophers are included in the category of natural scientists. In Chomsky's view, the activities of the natural historian amount to collecting rocks. A sociolinguist studying restaurant conversations will at best come up with a futile of restaurants, and that theory, even if successful, will tell us nothing about the theory of trolley cars. The natural scientist, on the other hand, addresses serious questions such as, What is the nature of the mind? What must be the initial state of the mind if we know that it" @default.
