Rationality : what it is, why it seems scarce, why it matters / by Pinker, Steven,1954-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Today humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and also appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that developed vaccines for Covid-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, medical quackery, and conspiracy theorizing? In 'Rationality' Steven Pinker explores how the rational pursuit of self-interest, sectarian solidarity, and uplifting mythology can add up to crippling irrationality in a society. Pinker grew up in Montreal, QC.
