1. How the mind works by Steven Pinker

The first drawings of this blog will come from Steven Pinker's book "How the mind works", first published by Norton in 1997.
The big picture, as presented by Mr. Pinker, is that "the mind is a system of organs of computation designed by natural selection to solve the problems faced by our evolutionary ancestors in their foraging way of life".
This is a very powerful definition, and by all means, a perfect abstract of what Mr. Pinker will say for many a chapter.
For all its strong scientific based, however, Steve Pinker resorts to philosophical questions that are, at least, out of his reach.
