Noam Chomsky, 95, had been hospitalized in Brazil while recovering from a stroke suffered a year ago, according to The Associated Press.

His wife, Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, said in an interview with The Intercept that Chomsky is "doing well" and that the reports of his death are "false."

Chomsky is a world-renowned linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, logician, and political activist. He is a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has written more than 100 books on linguistics, politics, and other topics.

Chomsky is a leading critic of American foreign policy and has been a vocal opponent of the Iraq War, the War on Terror, and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Despite his advanced age, Chomsky remains an active writer and speaker. He has recently published a book on the history of American imperialism and is currently working on a book about the future of democracy.

Chomsky's work has had a profound impact on the fields of linguistics, philosophy, and political science. He is considered one of the most important intellectuals of the 20th and 21st centuries.
