Description
The Enigma of Reason: A New Theory of Human Understanding by Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber
This thought-provoking book challenges our understanding of reason, arguing that it is not primarily used for individual decision-making, but rather to justify our beliefs and actions to others.
With a compelling mix of real-life and experimental evidence, the authors provide an illuminating interpretation of reason, making sense of its strengths and weaknesses. This insightful book will spark debate among psychologists and philosophers, and encourage readers to rethink their own thinking.
