One book by this thinker claims that a "percolation pipeline" in the brain must be blocked in cases where irregular plurals are overridden by general rules, such as when we say "still-lifes" instead of "still-lives."
One book by this thinker claims that a "percolation pipeline" in the brain must be blocked in cases where irregular plurals are overridden by general rules, such as when we say "still-lifes" instead of "still-lives." He argued that inequality, imperfectability, determinism, and nihilism are the four "fears" that motivate undervaluing the degree to which genes determine personality. Though not Gilbert Ryle, this author of Words and Rules wrote a book attacking the ghost in the machine, the noble savage, and the title doctrine of tabula rasa as three harmful views of human nature. A book by him provides an evolutionary explanation for an innate human capacity for language. For 10 points, name this Harvard cognitive scientist who wrote The Blank Slate and The Language Instinct.
