Paperback. Condición: New. Why people are not as gullible as we thinkNot Born Yesterday explains how we decide who we can trust and what we should believe-and argues that we're pretty good at making these decisions. In this lively and provocative book, Hugo Mercier demonstrates how virtually all attempts at mass persuasion-whether by religious leaders, politicians, or advertisers-fail miserably. Drawing on recent findings from political science and other fields ranging from history to anthropology, Mercier shows that the narrative of widespread gullibility, in which a credulous public is easily misled by demagogues and charlatans, is simply wrong.Why is mass persuasion so difficult? Mercier uses the latest findings from experimental psychology to show how each of us is endowed with sophisticated cognitive mechanisms of open vigilance. Computing a variety of cues, these mechanisms enable us to be on guard against harmful beliefs, while being open enough to change our minds when presented with the right evidence. Even failures-when we accept false confessions, spread wild rumors, or fall for quack medicine-are better explained as bugs in otherwise well-functioning cognitive mechanisms than as symptoms of general gullibility.Not Born Yesterday shows how we filter the flow of information that surrounds us, argues that we do it well, and explains how we can do it better still.…

Paperback. Condición: New. If reason is what makes us human, then why do we humans often behave so irrationally?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. BrilliantTimely and necessary. Financial TimesEspecially timely as we struggle to make sense of how it is that individuals and communities persist in holding beliefs that have been thoroughly discredited. Darren Frey, Science If reason is what makes us human, why do we behave so irrationally? And if it is so useful, why didnt it evolve in other animals? This groundbreaking account of the evolution of reason by two renowned cognitive scientists seeks to solve this double enigma. Reason, they argue, helps us justify our beliefs, convince others, and evaluate arguments. It makes it easier to cooperate and communicate and to live together in groups. Provocative, entertaining, and undeniably relevant, The Enigma of Reason will make many reasonable people rethink their beliefs.Reasonable-seeming people are often totally irrational. Rarely has this insight seemed more relevantStill, an essential puzzle remains: How did we come to be this way?Cognitive scientists Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber [argue that] reason developed not to enable us to solve abstract, logical problems[but] to resolve the problems posed by living in collaborative groups. Elizabeth Kolbert, New Yorker Turns reasons weaknesses into strengths, arguing that its supposed flaws are actually design features that work remarkably well.
