Pinker, Steven (1997) How the Mind Works, W.W. New York: Norton & Company
In this extraordinary book, Steven Pinker explains what the mind is, how it evolved, and how it allows us to see, think, feel, laugh, interact, enjoy the arts, and ponder the mysteries of life. How The Mind Works explains many of the imponderables of everyday life: Why does a face look more attractive with makeup? Why are children bratty? Why do fools fall in love? Why are we soothed by paintings and music? He challenges fashionable ideas such as that passionate emotions are irrational, that parents socialize their children, that creativity springs from the unconscious, that nature is good and modern society corrupting, and that art and religion are expressions of our higher spiritual yearnings. How the Mind Works presents the big picture. It is a grand synthesis of the most satisfying explanations of our mental life that has been proposed in cognitive science and evolutionary biology, with insight from disciplines ranging from neuroscience to economics and social psychology. It is fascinating, provocative, and thoroughly entertaining.
