• Resumen

  • Beliefs define how humans see the world and act within it; without them, there would be no plots to behead soldiers, no war, no economic crises and no racism. There would also be no cathedrals, no nature reserves, no science and no art. Whatever beliefs they hold, it's hard to imagine life without them. Beliefs, more than anything else, are what make them human. They also come so naturally that they rarely stop to think how bizarre belief is. Here, Lawton tackles the neuroscientific investigation of belief.
