Chomsky is definitely a linguist first and foremost, but he's had sufficient influence on the analytic tradition that it would be difficult to justify putting together a history of said tradition and leaving him out entirely. similar to Godel, Tarski and Turing. You can't say the same for Dawkins, nor Rand for that matter.
