1 in stock
Description
'How the Mind Works' by Steven Pinker explores the workings of the human mind through the perspectives of cognitive science, evolutionary psychology and neuroscience. Pinker argues that the mind is composed of specialised mental systems shaped by natural selection to solve problems faced by our ancestors. He examines a wide range of subjects, including perception, reasoning, emotions, social relationships, humour, art and morality, drawing on scientific research to investigate how these abilities developed and function. First published in 1997, this influential and thought-provoking work offers an accessible introduction to the scientific study of human nature and the evolutionary origins of our mental lives.
