With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits-a doctrine held by many intellectuals during the past century-denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts. Injecting calm and rationality into debates that are notorious for ax-grinding and mud-slinging, Pinker shows the importance of an honest acknowledgment of human nature based on science and common sense.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven Pinker, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Better Angels of our Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, is the Harvard College Professor of Psychology at Harvard University.
