Pinker ist einfach klasse
Ich habe schon mehrere Bücher von diesem Autor gelesen und bin immer wieder begeistert. Keiner kann so fundiert und gleichzeitig unterhaltsam über Sprache schreiben wie er. Super strukturiert, sehr klar in den Aussagen, locker im Ton, aber nie geschwätzig. Dem Zusammenhang zwischen unserem Sprechen und Denken sowie der Welt um uns herum geht Pinker aus verschiedenen Richtungen auf den Grund. Allein die genialen Beispiele, mit dene er seine Ausführungen greifbar macht, sind richtige Augenöffner - Sachen, die man vielleicht schon gehört hatte, aber jetzt erst durchschaut und einordnen kann. Klasse, der Mann.

No me ha gustado nada
As a layman, I started following this white rabbit due to two unrelated and disturbing hints I got long ago:Ortega y Gasset stating German language grammar was the main reason for the succes of Philosophy -considering other languages not so prone to success in that area-My maths teacher feeling the 'not so logical' Spanish language as an explanation for so many people failing her tests. No endendí nada (literally: I did not understand nothing) is a wrong logical structure -two negations equals one affirmation- Mr. Spock thinking the boy grabbed the topic, at least partially, but the guy meaning he got no hint of it.Self-contained, positive and illustrative, I really enjoyed The stuff of Thought. Hope you do so!

If you want to know what thinking itself is about, this is the book.
My father has been raving about this well-written book on what thinking actually is about. Pinker of course is an outstanding writer.
