The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature by Steven Pinker
Penguin Books; Reprint edition | August 26, 2003 | English | ISBN: 0142003344 | 306 pages | PDF | 4 MB

In The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading experts on language and the mind, explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits-a doctrine held by many intellectuals during the past century-denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts.
