The Enigma of Reason: A New Theory of Human Understanding by Hugo Mercier, Dan Sperber
4.0
I will begin by saying that I probably only understood 60% of what was written.
Our misunderstanding of the nature of reason is very astounding, I did not expect how easy it is for us to be reasonably unreasonable. The book discussed the many theories about reason and how our brain functions when we try to think and other aspects of what we unconsciously do when we try to reason. It also discusses some fallacies we use in our lives that we may not even notice.
Overall, it’s a good book that I should return too when I’m smarter or more knowledgeable.
