Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description The Making of the Civilized Mind is the fourth and final volume of the series, The Evolution of Human Intelligence. In this volume, the author discusses the sociobiological status of the human brain in producing social and cultural behavior. Itzkoff argues that culture is a unique product of man's biology traceable to the earliest stages of Homo's evolution. However, it is the variability of human intelligence in producing different forms of culture that provides the central argument of the book. Here, Professor Itzkoff shows how high intelligence leads to abstract symbolic thinking and that civilization itself can be seen as a form of cultural life that has been produced by the highest forms of abstraction in such fundamental areas as technology, religion, philosophy, science, music, etc. Review Critical Praise for Earlier Volumes in 'The Evolution of Human Intelligence: a Theory in Four Parts', Truly eloquent...hard headed...There is a fresh wind blowing through the social sciences, and Itzkoff is playing an important part in seeing to it that the wind does not die down. (Hans Eysenck, Personality and Individual Differences) Enormously ambitious...fascinating...gripping...controversial...a remarkably original guide to the present state of knowledge about human brain power. (Daniel Seligmann, Fortune) Stimulating...Itzkoff has read widely and thought deeply. (Ernst Mayr, Harvard University) This book has a voice, a strong voice which bespeaks a concern. (Explorations / College Press) I recommend Seymour Itzkoff's volumes as cornerstones for the library of anyone interested in a perfect or imperfect evolution. (Russell Gardner, The ASCAP Newsletter)
