Marc D. Hauser Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Tento autor skúma ľudskú prirodzenosť optikou evolučnej biológie a neurovedy. Jeho diela, ktoré zahŕňajú širokú škálu tém od správania zvierat po filozofiu, sa vyznačujú interdisciplinárnym prístupom. Snaží sa prepojiť vedecké poznatky o mysli a mozgu s praktickými aplikáciami vo vzdelávaní a sociálnej práci, najmä s ohrozenou mládežou. Jeho cieľom je obohatiť naše chápanie ľudskej evolúcie a zároveň nájsť nové nástroje na zlepšenie životov detí a na všeobecné blaho.
The book presents a revolutionary theory proposing that humans possess an innate moral instinct that drives our judgments of right and wrong, transcending factors like gender, education, and religion. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology, the author examines the profound implications of this theory for bioethics, religion, law, and daily life, challenging conventional views on morality and its origins.
Do animals think? Can they count? Do they have emotions? Do they feel anger, frustration, hurt or sorrow? Are they bound by any moral code? Wild Minds provides authoritative answers to these long-standing questions. Marc Hauser, a scientist in the field of animal cognition, uses insights from evolutionary theory and cognitive science to examine animal thought. Treating animals as neither machines devoid of feeling nor as extensions of humans, but as independant beings driven by their own complex impulses, Hauser's work describes his background research in the field: a master tour of the animal mind.
