The mind is the matter that occupies Kim Sterelny, biologist and professor of philosophy at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. He tackles the endlessly curious question of how the human mind got to be the way it is in Thought in a Hostile World: The evolution of human cognition (Blackwell, 拢16.99), arguing that evolutionary psychology and other modular mind theories are impoverished as explanations. His audience? Scientists, philosophers and anyone ready for a high-level, detailed discussion of cognition and evolution.
