  Presenting a different view of human reason, this book portrays it as a normal part of the natural world. Drawing on the empirical sciences to illuminate its workings, it discusses both theoretical and practical rationality, and shows how evolutionary theory, decision theory, and quantum mechanics offer fresh approaches to the problems.
