Matter of Thought

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

In The Matter of Thought, Pinker examines in detail two topics he has covered in his previous books: language and human nature. By explaining how the mind works through the language we use and showing that words in daily life describe facts about human emotions, Pinker argues that language is the way to explain the complexity in human relationships. According to Pinker, all our thoughts, from political ideas to religious beliefs, are shaped around basic ideas such as space, power, power and sacrifice. This book, which evaluates from a scientific perspective how language shapes human thought, examines Pinker's latest works.
