Abstract

“Intellectual’s commitment, from Sartre to Chomsky, and their influence on Latin America” shows why Jean-Paul Sartre and Noam Chomsky are considered committed intellectuals, concept related with the birth of the intellectual figure in France that started with Dreyfus Affair. Through an intellectual history’s approach we analyze the evolution of Sartre and Chomsky. Sartre was a key figure in France from the 50’s to end of the 60’s and he stands out in intellectual history in 20th century. Afterwards, Chomsky took the place of the committed intellectual with criticism about USA politics. Therefore, with this article we will understand why Sartre and Chomsky’s political ideas have had a big influence on Latin America.
