How History Made the Mind, David Martel Johnson argues that what we
now think of as "reason" or "objective thinking" is not a natural
product of the existence of an enlarged brain or culmination of
innate biological tendencies. Rather, it is a way of learning to
use the brain that runs counter to the natural characteristics
involved in being an animal, a mammal, and a primate. Johnson
defends his theory of mind as a cultural artifact against
objections, and uses it to question a number of currently
fashionable positions in philosophy of mind, known theories of
Julian Jaynes, which Johnson argues go too far in the direction of
emphasizing the dissimilarities between ancient and modern ways of
thinking.
