All humans see the world in two fundamentally different ways: even
babies have a rich understanding of both the physical and social
worlds. They expect objects to obey principles of physics, and
they're startled when things disappear or defy gravity. Yet they
can also read emotions and respond with anger, sympathy, and
joy.In" Descartes' Baby," Bloom draws on a wealth of scientific
discoveries to show how these two ways of knowing give rise to such
uniquely human traits as humor, disgust, religion, art, and
morality. How our dualist perspective, developed throughout our
lives, profoundly influences our thoughts, feelings, and actions is
the subject of this richly rewarding book.
