Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking by Daniel C Dennett
Thinking is hard - yet barely a waking moment passes when we're not labouring away at it. This title offers cognitive tools that built for the treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, consciousness and free will. It guides readers around the pitfalls in arguments, and reveals easier ways to better understand the world around us.
