Description
Steven Pinker's seminal work on language and cognition is now collected in one volume. This comprehensive collection spans his thirty-year career, exploring key themes such as language development, mental imagery, and the evolution of human nature. Thirteen influential articles are presented here, each tackling a major theory or engaging with prominent scholars like Stephen Jay Gould, Noam Chomsky, and Richard Dawkins. The result is a rich tapestry of ideas that shed light on the intricate relationships between language, cognition, perception, social relationships, child development, human evolution, and our understanding of human nature. A new introduction by Pinker provides context for this eclectic collection, offering insights into his scholarly work and its significance in cognitive science.
