Inhaltsangabe:

Bringing together evolutionary biology, psychology, and philosophy, Henry Plotkin presents a new science of knowledge that traces an unbreakable link between instinct and our ability to know. Since our ability to know our world depends primarily on what we call intelligence, intelligence must be understood as an extension of instinct. The capacity for knowledge is deeply rooted in our biology and, in a special sense, is shared by all living things.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Henry Plotkin is Professor of Psychobiology and Head of the Department of Psychology at the University College in London.
