Synopsis

Steven Pinker tackles the enduring debate about human nature in "The Blank Slate." He challenges the widely held belief that the mind is a product of only upbringing and environment, arguing instead for the significance of innate human traits. Pinker uses scientific evidence and common sense to explore how acknowledging our inherent nature can lead to a more rational understanding of social issues, politics, and even art.
