Noam Chomsky Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Noam Chomsky remains a towering figure in global intellectual life, but recent developments paint a picture of a man whose public presence has been dramatically curtailed by health challenges. According to Media Lens and updates from his longtime assistant Bev Stohl, Chomsky suffered a stroke in June 2024 and has not been writing, corresponding, or giving interviews since then. His condition has improved enough that he has left intensive care and is now in a regular hospital room in São Paulo, Brazil, where he is receiving specialist treatment. His wife Valeria confirmed to the Associated Press that he has difficulty speaking and movement on his right side, but he still follows the news closely and is visibly moved by images of the war in Gaza. Stohl has indicated that Chomsky is unlikely to return to the public eye, and there have been no new interviews or public statements from him in the past year.

Despite his absence, Chomsky’s legacy continues to inspire major events and discussions. The International Peace Bureau recently highlighted his ongoing influence, noting his recent award of the Seán MacBride Peace Prize for his lifelong commitment to peace and anti-imperialism. His critiques of US foreign policy and warnings about nuclear weapons and climate change remain central to global discourse. The Canadian Foreign Policy Institute is hosting a free public webinar on the threat of nuclear weapons featuring Chomsky, though it is unclear if he will participate directly or if the event will feature archived material.

In the past 24 hours, there have been no new major headlines or public appearances by Chomsky. Most recent mentions are tributes and reflections on his impact, with journalists and activists expressing concern and admiration for his contributions. Social media continues to buzz with discussions about his legacy, but there are no credible reports of new business activities or social media posts from Chomsky himself.
