From the debate, Chomsky tries to defend his opinion which the fundamental element of human nature is the need for creativity. He says that there is no arbitrary limiting effect. Human should maximize the possibilities to realize this fundamental human characteristic. Basically, he says that a free society without any limitation would be an ideal society.
On the other hand, Foucault states his thesis that the society is limited and controlled by a power. The power could be the government,police and etc. He disagree with Chomsky and says that the organizations that we live in looks like it is independent but the fact is they are controlled by a power of social class.
There are some good qualities from both of them in the debate:
- They do not disagree much about each other, instead, they say that they would rather emphasize this instead of that.
- They really listen to each other opinion and try to counter them with their points which well supported by facts and etc.
