The Blank Slate
By Stephen Pinker
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 mudslinging, Pinker shows the importance of an honest acknowledgment of human nature based on science and common sense. 560 pages
