Lakoff
George Lakoff has recently written a new book, "The Political Mind: Why You Can't Understand 21st-Century American Politics With an 18th-Century Brain".
IMO: I'm well aware that both Flanagan and Pinker criticise Lakoff, and on the whole prefer the comments of Fauconnier. I am not a Democrat and in many ways find much fault with the US system, as I often make clear . However I have placed an order for Lakoff's latest book and it will doubtless have implications both for neuroscience and the US presidential election. I may comment further on this matter, here or elsewhere.
