Krátky popis
In the twenty-first century, humanity is reaching new heights of
scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be
losing its mind. How can a species that discovered vaccines for
Covid-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, quack cures
and conspiracy theorizing? In Rationality, Pinker rejects the
cynical cliche that humans are simply an irrational species -
cavemen out of time fatally cursed with biases, fallacies and
illusions. After all, we discovered the laws of nature, lengthened
and enriched our lives and set the benchmarks for rationality
itself. Instead, he explains, we think in ways that suit the
low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but fail to
take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning we have built up
over millennia: logic, critical thinking, probability, causal
inference, and decision-making under uncertainty. These tools are
not a standard part of our educational curricula, and have never
been presented clearly and entertainingly in a single book - until
now. Rationality matters. It leads to better choices in our lives
and in the public sphere, and is the ultimate driver of social
justice and moral progress. Brimming with insight and humour,
Rationality will enlighten, inspire and empower.
