The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial Of Human Nature
'In a work of outstanding clarity and sheer brilliance Steven Pinker banishes forever fears that a biological understanding of human nature threatens humane values' - Helena Cronin, author of The Ant and the Peacock . 'A mind blowing, mind opening expose. Pinker's profoundly positive arguments for the compatibility of biology and humanism are unrivaled for their scope and depth and should be mandatory, if disquieting, reading' - Patricia Goldman-Rakic, Past President of the Society for Neuroscience.
