What is the truth about human nature? Steven Pinker argues that our usual explanations of human behaviour - stated most clearly in the human sciences of psychology, ethics and politics - tend to deny what is now undeniable: the role of an inherited human nature.

i can think of very few people who would enjoy this book in the way that i did. it is not particularly easy to read, it is not particularly accessible; and yet the oddly esoteric subject matter is one that i am intimately familiar with. my education has a new perspective.
if you are a studier of theory (particularly anthropology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy), it may be worth your while.
