A review by chrisyakimov
The Enigma of Reason by Hugo Mercier, Dan Sperber

informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

I've been waiting for this book for 25 years. If Kahnemann's "Thinking Fast and Slow" makes you want to pull your hair out in frustration, this is the book for you. A detailed, cogent, sufficiently incomplete (and therefore honest), and far and away more convincing theory for why we reason, why we seem to have "cognitive biases", and what how those biases are features, not flaws.
