How The Mind WorksThe second sentence of Steven Pinker's 1996 book, How the Mind Works is a frank admission that "we don't understand how the mind works." In spite of that early humility, Pinker attempts to explain some of the human mind's poorly understood functions and quirks in evolutionary terms. Relying heavily on the evolutionary views of Richard Dawkins, he covers subjects as diverse as vision, emotion, feminism, and, in the final chapter, "the meaning of life." External links
