Product Information
Steven Pinker, an experimental psychologist and Harvard college and university professor, explores the complexities surrounding human nature - emotional, moral, and political.
He challenges the belief, and widely held doctrine, that the mind:
- Has no innate traits
- Denies our common humanity and individual preferences
- Replaces social problem objective analyses with feel-good mottos
- Warps our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts
Based on science and common sense, he aims to provide an understanding of the importance of a truthful acknowledgment of human nature.
