He does tend to focus on philosophical implications in the light of current events. But I'd say he follows the 17th century rationalist philosophy tradition (Descartes/Kant) and Libertarian (Anarchist) Socialism which owes a lot to Proudhon & Godwin (& later Kropotkin). He quotes these as inspirations or sources, especially when speaking about issues that relate to power and hierarchy.
I’ve always respected Noam Chomsky. And still do. But does he ever reference any philosophers other than himself.

Thank you.
