Great presentation of modularity, February 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite: Evolution and the Modular Mind (Hardcover)
This is a great synthesis of the modularity approach to cognitive science. It covers the entire field and has the right footnotes for the patches.
The style is readable, & the author has an attitude (with is a very good thing, but his jokes are often bland, not aggressive enough). While I strongly disagree with his treatment of morality (I am deontic), I can safely say, so far, that this is not just one of the best books in cognitive science, but certainly one of the most readable.
