Flat Minds; Flattish Arguments
There’s a book out that I’m
not going to read. It’s called “The Mind
is Flat” and it’s by a psychologist, Nick Chater. Why am I repelled, as if
by an opposite magnet? Well, there have been a couple of sniffy reviews, in The Guardian and Prospect. But the main reason is that the author has written a
longish summary of his thesis in the former publication https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/01/revolution-in-our-sense-of-self-sunday-essay?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other. I find it rather
incoherent.
