The Minimalist Program in linguistics, championed by Chomsky in the mid-1990s, is an attempt to seek beauty in the theory of linguistics. \u003ci\u003eMinimalist Synta\u003c\/i\u003ex synthesizes the current state of play, showing both the elegance of the theory, and its far reaching implications for not only the study of language, but the mind more generally. You may not agree with the perspective outlined, and may not find the evidence compelling, but if you don’t take the proposal seriously, you will miss out on what could be one of the most radical and intellectually stimulating theories of the mind in the 21st century.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e--Marc Hauser, Harvard College, author of Wild Minds (2000) and Moral Minds (2006).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"A fine collection of excerpts from many of the most important and influential texts of the Minimalist Program.
