I probably shouldn’t be promoting events at the American Enterprise Institute, but this one has me really excited. They are hosting a lecture by Steven Pinker, one of my favorite science writers and who is now in the psychology department at Harvard. The topic will be that of his most recent book, The Blank Slate, which debunks fears that a scientific understanding of human nature will undermine ethical and political values.
The event will be at AEI on October 7 at 5:30; registration is here.
(The Blank Slate was also one of the first books reviewed in The Torch last year.)
