ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An essential text to raise awareness and take action.
Cooperation or Extinction is the latest work from linguist, philosopher, and political scientist Noam Chomsky, who is also one of the world's most influential activists. This time, he offers a compilation of texts that arose from a so-called «Chomsky Encounter held in Boston which focused on threats to planetary survival, and whose three main themes are the climate emergency, nuclear threat, and the danger that a worldwide weakening democratic system poses. As Chomsky states in these revealing pages, the solution stems from social and international activism: a series of popular movements that are already being organized around the world to force international agreements and face this unprecedented challenge, all for the survival of civilization. "The alarm of an imminent extinction cannot be ignored. It should be a firm central axis in any program offering awareness, organization, and activism; it should figure as a backdrop to any form of involvement in all other struggles. And thus assuming a broader sensitivity and deeper awareness to the problems and injustices that plague the world, serving as inspiration to a committed activism."
