Introduces generative grammar and asks what it tells us about the human mind. This work introduces Chomsky's program of a 'minimalist' syntax as an explanatory vision of the human mind. It argues that the design of the human mind is the product not of evolutionary history, but of principles and processes that are ahistorical and internalist.
