In this extraordinary book, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading cognitive
scientists,
does for the rest of the mind what he did for language in his 1994 bestseller, The
Language Instinct.
He explains what the mind is, how it evolved, and how it allows us to see, think, feel,
and pursue
characteristically human callings in the arts, religion and philosophy. And he does this
with the wit
and verve that earned The
Language Instinct worldwide critical acclaim.
This book is about the human brain, though not directly about neurons and hormones; that
is because
the mind is not the brain, but what the brain does. Pinker's account is based on two
powerful ideas:
that mental activity is a form of computation, and that the neural computer that gives
rise to our
human nature was shaped by natural selection.
Pinker explains the mind by 'reverse-engineering' it - working out what natural selection
designed it to accomplish in the environment in which it evolved. The mind is a system of
'organs of computation', an information-processing device that evolved to allow our
ancestors
to understand and overcome objects, animals, plants, and each other.
Guided by these insights, Pinker challenges a variety of fashionable ideas about ourselves
and our behaviour: that passionate emotions are irrational; that parents are responsible
for
the personalities of their children; that creativity springs from the unconscious; that
art
and religion are expressions of our higher spiritual yearnings and that nature is good and
modern society corrupting.
How the Mind Works presents a grand synthesis of the most satisfying explanations of
mental life
that have been proposed in cognitive science and evolutionary biology, with insights from
disciplines
ranging from neuroscience to economics and social psychology.
A contribution to today's most exciting science, this is a fascinating, provocative and
thoroughly
entertaining book. It is one of a small number of books which deal with the often
counter-intuitive
conclusions of cutting edge cognitive science, while still being accessible to an
educated, non-specialist reader.
