في هذا الكتاب يتحدث ستيفن بنكر أستاذ العلوم الإدراكية وعالم النفس بشكل أساسي عن نظرية العقل الحسابية
computational theory of the mind
بالعربي، الرجل يتحدث عن العقل (ليس المخ) من وجهة نظر أخرى غير اعتيادية. وجهة نظر تطورية. فيفسر العمليات الادراكية داخل العقل بقوى تطورية (داروينية) وبقوانين حاسويبة.
النظريات التي طرحها وتحدث عنها بنكر رائعة وطريقة شرحها أروع
قد يكون عنوان الكتاب مضلل بعض الشي. لكنه كتاب يستحق القراءة

It took me six months to get through this book. There are alot of ideas covered, so it seems fitting to go through it slowly.

Meh. There were some interesting parts, but overall, this book left me quite disappointed. I suppose I was hoping for, and expecting, more of "how the BRAIN works." This book felt like a lot of philosophy and guess work rather than science. There was a lot of rambling that I had a hard time seeing the purpose of. Overall, not one that I would recommend.
