Enlightenment Now
Steven Pinker
‘’Enlightenment Now’’ by Steven Pinker examines whether our society still acts on the four ideals of the Enlightenment: reason, science, humanism, and progress. As much as it seems that the world is heading toward its end, the situation is more optimistic. People are healthier, less violent, and economic inequalities are shrinking. Our history since the Enlightenment is the history of improvement, and in this book, Steven Pinker proves that it is true.
How the Mind Works
Steven Pinker
In “How the Mind Works,” first published in 1997, Steven Pinker tries to explain the mind in evolutionary and computational terms. The human mind is similar to a computer since it processes information and makes decisions based on combining information in certain ways. “How the Mind Works” looks at emotions, vision, and intelligence and attempts to explain how these function.
The Blank Slate
Steven Pinker
There is no end to the nature-versus-nurture debate. In “The Blank Slate,” Steven Pinker challenges most of the modern views on human nature – modern politics and sociological thought contribute to our ignorance in regard to the role our genes play.
