THE BLANK SLATE - STEVEN PINKER KARTONIERT (TB)

A brilliant inquiry into the origins of human nature from the author of Rationality  The Better
Angels of Our Nature  and Enlightenment Now.Sweeping  erudite  sharply argued  and fun to
read..also highly persuasive. --Time Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize Updated with a new
afterword One of the world's leading experts on language and the mind explores the idea of
human nature and its moral  emotional  and political colorings. With characteristic wit 
lucidity  and insight  Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits-a
doctrine held by many intellectuals during the past century-denies our common humanity and our
individual preferences  replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans 
and distorts our understanding of politics  violence  parenting  and the arts. Injecting calm
and rationality into debates that are notorious for ax-grinding and mud-slinging  Pinker shows
the importance of an honest acknowledgment of human nature based on science and common sense.
