Pinker, Steven, 1954-2002
Books
This title makes explicit the argument that has been the backdrop to the author's previous books. It claims that the ideas of the 'noble savage' and the 'blank slate' which underpin modern attitudes to human nature are untruthful in deflecting responsibility from the individual onto society.
