te par kopotajiem rakstiem, kurus visu mūžu laikam labprāt izlasītu kā kāpostos rakstus.
Pinkers runājas par mentalīzi un raksta - The discussions that assume that language determines thought carry on only by a collective suspension of disbelief. A dog, Bertrand Russell noted, may not be able to tell you that its parents were honest though poor, but can anyone really conclude from this that the dog is unconscious? (Out cold? A zombie?).
Galu galā es nekad to teikumu neesmu izlasījusi citādi, kā saraujoties pie domas "Auč, kā Pinkers tikko atļāvās nosaukt Raselu par suni. Vai vismaz suni par raselu." I wonder. :D
