Critiques

The Mind Doesn't Work That Way par Jerry Fodor

An important book in that the author raises some significant objections to basic assumptions we make in studying the processes and mechanics of thinking. These assumptions lead to even more significant contradictions in the public understanding of “intelligence” as being something tranferable and objective.

An important book to keep in mind while trying to crack the scientific methods to match investigating cognition.
