Paperback. Zustand: Good. 1094 pages. cover worn and soiledThis title is shortlisted for the samuel johnson prize 2012. This acclaimed s teven pinker, author of the language instinct and the blank slate, argues th at, contrary to popular belief, humankind has become progressively less violent, over millenia and decades. Can violence really have declined? the images of con flict we see daily on our screens from around the world suggest this is an almos t obscene claim to be making. Extraordinarily, however, steven pinker shows viol ence within and between societies - both murder and warfare - really has decline d from prehistory to today.we are much less likely to die at someone else's hand s than ever before. Even the horrific carnage of the last century, when compared to the dangers of pre - state societies, is part of this trend.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From one of the world's most celebrated intellectuals, a 'fascinating' (Financial Times), brilliantly insightful work that explains how we think about each other's thoughts about each other's thoughts, ad infinitum.It sounds impossible, but Steven Pinker shows that we do it all the time. This awareness is called common knowledge, and it has a momentous impact on our social, political, and economic lives. Common knowledge is necessary for coordination, for making arbitrary but complementary choices like driving on the right and coalescing behind a political leader or movement. It's also necessary for social coordination: everything from meeting up at a time and place to forming enduring bonds of friendship, romance, or authority. Humans have a sixth sense for common knowledge, and we create it with signals like laughter, tears, blushing, eye contact, and blunt speech. But people also may strive to avoid common knowledge-to ensure that even if everyone knows something, they can't know that everyone else knows they know it. And so we get rituals like benign hypocrisy, veiled bribes and threats, sexual innuendo, and pretending not to see the elephant in the room. Pinker shows how the hidden logic of common knowledge can make sense of many of life's enigmas: financial bubbles and crashes, revolutions that seem to come from out of nowhere, the eruption of cancel culture, and even the awkwardness of a first date.…
