PDF-(BOOK)-The Blind Storyteller: How We Reason About Human Nature

Do newborns think Do they know that three is greater than two Do they prefer right to wrong What about emotionscan newborns recognize happiness or anger If the answer to these questions is yes then how are our inborn thoughts and feelings encoded in our bodies Could theypersist after we dieGoing all the way back to ancient Greece human nature and the mindbody problem have been the topics of fierce scholarly debates But laypeople also have strong opinions about such matters Most people believe for example that newborn babies dont know the difference between right andwrongsuch knowledge they insist can only be learned For emotions they presume the oppositethat our capacity to feel fear for example is both inborn and embodiedThese beliefs are stories we tell ourselves about what we know and who we are They reflect and influence our understanding of ourselves and others and they guide every aspect of our lives In The Blind Storyteller the cognitive psychologist Iris Berent exposes a chasm between our intuitiveunderstanding of human nature and the conclusions emerging from science Her conclusions show that many of our stories are misguided Just like Homer we the storyteller are blindHow could we get it so wrong In a twist that could have come out of a Greek tragedy Berent proposes that our errors are our fate These mistakes emanate from the very principles that make our minds tick Our blindness to human nature is rooted in human nature itselfAn intellectual journey that draws on philosophy anthropology linguistics cognitive science and Berents own cuttingedge research The Blind Storyteller grapples with a host of provocative questions from why we are so afraid of zombies to whether dyslexia is just in our heads from whathappens to us when we die to why we are so infatuated with our brains The end result is a startling new perspective on the ageold naturenurture debateand on what it means to be human. 1 be a A dashing hero b c Thrilling and suspenseful d A mystery e Full of contemporary humor 2 My ideal blind date would take place a In candlelit restaurant b In the haunting shadows c From New York to Beijing d In a smoky dimly lit bar e At the la License . and Terms of .
