A groundbreaking scientific examination of the way our brains
understand politics from a "New York Times" bestselling author
One of the world 's best-known linguists and cognitive scientists,
George Lakoff has a knack for making science make sense for general
readers. In his new book, Lakoff spells out what cognitive science
has discovered about reason, and reveals that human reason is far
more interesting than we thought it was. Reason is physical, mostly
unconscious, metaphorical, emotion-laden, and tied to empathy-and
there are biological explanations behind our moral and political
thought processes. His call for a New Enlightenment is a bold and
striking challenge to the cherished beliefs not only of
philosophers, but of pundits, pollsters, and political leaders.
"The Political Mind" is a passionate, erudite, and groundbreaking
book that will appeal to anyone interested in how the mind works
and how we function socially and politically.
