In this delightful, acclaimed bestseller, one of the world’s leading
cognitive scientists tackles the workings of the human mind. What makes
us rational—and why are we so often irrational? How do we see in three
dimensions? What makes us happy, afraid, angry, disgusted, or sexually
aroused? Why do we fall in love? And how do we grapple with the
imponderables of morality, religion, and consciousness? How the Mind
Works synthesizes the most satisfying explanations of our mental life
from cognitive science, evolutionary biology, and other fields to
explain what the mind is, how it evolved, and how it allows us to see,
think, feel, laugh, interact, enjoy the arts, and contemplate the
mysteries of life. This new edition of Pinker’s bold and buoyant classic
is updated with a new foreword by the author.
