GALLEGOS DE DIOS, Osbaldo Amauri. Intellectual commitment, from Sartre to Chomsky, and their influence in Latin America. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.81, pp.43-76.  Epub Nov 15, 2021. ISSN 1665-0565.

In “Intellectual’s commitment, from Sartre to Chomsky, and their influence on Latin America”, through an intellectual history’s approach we analyze the birth of the intellectual figure in France that started with Dreyfus Affair, to understand Jean-Paul Sartre’s ideas,who was a key figure in France from the 50’s to end of the 60’s. Then, we analyze Noam Chomsky’s commitment nuances as a researcher, who has criticized usa politics. Finally, we analyze Latin America’s historic context in the second half of 20th century, which allow us to understand why Sartre and Chomsky’s political ideas have had a big influence on Latin America.

Keywords : Sartre; Chomsky; intellectual history; commitment; Latin America.
