In 'The Blank Slate', Steven Pinker explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits 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. Pinker defends an honest acknowledgment of human nature based on science and common sense.
Steven Arthur Pinker is a Canadian cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, popular science author, and public intellectual. He is an advocate of evolutionary psychology and the computational theory of mind. Pinker is the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University.
