Reason, we are told, is what makes us human, the source of our knowledge and wisdom. If reason is so useful, why didn't it also evolve in other animals? If reason is that reliable, why do we produce so much thoroughly reasoned nonsense? In their groundbreaking account of the evolution and workings of reason, Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber set out to solve this double enigma.

one of the clearest, and, fittingly, unbiased accounts of reason ive ever seen (although i may admittedly be displaying my-side bias by saying this); felt like a breath of fresh air, a great clarification among the other antiquated and patchwork views on Reason that are so prevalent in most if not all fields of science and common understanding

Religion is at the heart of man’s societies. ‘For a long time,’ Durkheim writes early on in his book, ‘it has been known that the first systems of representations with which men have pictured to themselves the world and themselves were of religious origin.’ Durkheim decided to examine how and why this phenomenon functioned and evolved - by looking specifically at simple societies and their religions, rather than at religions in more complex or developed societies.

A truly insightgul conclusion, the rest is good
Revisado: 08-03-22
Durkheim does not shy away from exposing every example from Australian tribes with careful presentation and wording throughout the book. This part, although very interesting and full of insightful distinctions (e.g. magic vs religion), can fall into an expression of ideas that is wordy and very careful with being precise to the detriment of the readability of the book. I thus can't say that this extended listen was easy to get through.
However, this book reaches its apogee in the conclusion, where we finally get Durkeim's general take on all the ideas he meticulously exposed throughout the book. It is easy to see why these ideas were revolutionary, and, despite the taint of European colonialism ideology coloring Durkheim's speech concerning his "primitive societies", why the understanding of religion and society as an emergent being, aimed for survival and embodied in the mind of the believer became so crucial to our modern understanding of sociology.
