N1 - 11 N2 - This article analyzes the editorial controversy surrounding the 1971 debate between Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault on “human nature.” We will point at major discrepancies between the video footage and the published versions of the discussion, which were not highlighted to the public nor to Chomsky himself, dealing in some cases with full-scale rewritings of some of Foucault’s remarks, leading frequently to evident misunderstandings.
