Description

Are we "noble in reason"? Perfect, in
God's image? Far from it, says the New
[ York University psychologist Gary
Marcus. In this lucid and revealing book,
Marcus argues that the mind is not an elegantly designed organ but rather a "kluge," a clumsy, cobbled-together contraption. He unveils a fundamentally new way of look­ing at the human mind—think duct tape, not supercomputer—that sheds light on some of the most mysterious aspects of human nature.
