Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters

bySteven Pinker

Focused on what It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters, Rationality brings Steven Pinker's science narrative to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of psychology and science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
