RT list: Guardian 27.11.10 - Mercier and Sperber on reasoning

Hi,

I thought I some of you would be interested to know that Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber's paper on reasoning and persuasion ('Why do humans reason? Arguments for an argumentative theory' - available at http://www.dan.sperber.fr) was mentioned in Oliver Burkeman's 'This Column Will Change Your Life' in The Guardian on Saturday:
