Not born yesterday: the science of who we trust and what we believe / Hugo Mercier (2020)  

Public ISBD Titre : Not born yesterday: the science of who we trust and what we believe Type de document : livre Auteurs : Hugo Mercier, Auteur Editeur : Princeton, NJ : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 364 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-17870-7 Prix : 29.95 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Psychology  Human behavior  Decision making  Communication Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Not Born Yesterday explains how we decide who we can trust and what we should believe—and argues that we’re pretty good at making these decisions. In this lively and provocative book, Hugo Mercier demonstrates how virtually all attempts at mass persuasion—whether by religious leaders, politicians, or advertisers—fail miserably. Drawing on recent findings from political science and other fields ranging from history to anthropology, Mercier shows that the narrative of widespread gullibility, in which a credulous public is easily misled by demagogues and charlatans, is simply wrong. Why is mass persuasion so difficult? Mercier uses the latest findings from experimental psychology to show how each of us is endowed with sophisticated cognitive mechanisms of open vigilance. Computing a variety of cues, these mechanisms enable us to be on guard against harmful beliefs, while being open enough to change our minds when presented with the right evidence. Even failures—when we accept false confessions, spread wild rumors, or fall for quack medicine—are better explained as bugs in otherwise well-functioning cognitive mechanisms than as symptoms of general gullibility. Not Born Yesterday shows how we filter the flow of information that surrounds us, argues that we do it well, and explains how we can do it better still.

The perception of the environment: essays on livelihood, dwelling and skill / Tim Ingold (2000)  

Public ISBD Titre : The perception of the environment: essays on livelihood, dwelling and skill Type de document : livre Auteurs : Tim Ingold, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : London : Routledge Année de publication : 2000 Importance : 465 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-22832-9 Prix : 38.99 GBP Note générale : ISBN-10 : 0-415-22832-8; Reprinted 2002, 2003, 2005 (twice), 2006, 2007, 2008 (twice), 2010 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anthropology  Human ecology  Philosophy  Psychology  Social evolution Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : In this work Tim Ingold offers a persuasive new approach to understanding how human beings perceive their surroundings. He argues that what we are used to calling cultural variation consists, in the first place, of variations in skill. Neither innate nor acquired, skills are grown, incorporated into the human organism through practice and training in an environment. They are thus as much biological as cultural. To account for the generation of skills we have therefore to understand the dynamics of development. And this in turn calls for an ecological approach that situates practitioners in the context of an active engagement with the constituents of their surroundings. The twenty-three essays comprising this book focus in turn on the procurement of livelihood, on what it means to ‘dwell’, and on the nature of skill, weaving together approaches from social anthropology, ecological psychology, developmental biology and phenomenology in a way that has never been attempted before. The book is set to revolutionise the way we think about what is ‘biological’ and ‘cultural’ in humans, about evolution and history, and indeed about what it means for human beings – at once organisms and persons – to inhabit an environment. The Perception of the Environment will be essential reading not only for anthropologists but also for biologists, psychologists, archaeologists, geographers and philosophers. This edition includes a new Preface by the author.
