Product specs

Why are people capable of careful reasoning yet so often convinced by weak arguments? Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber examine this question through psychology and evidence from experiments and everyday life.

In The Enigma of Reason, they argue that reasoning developed largely for social purposes: to explain and defend our views, persuade others and judge the arguments we hear.
