158: Politics and Cognitive Science

from Philosophy Talk Starters · host Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/politics-and-cognitive-science. Can cognitive science explain the difference between liberals and conservatives? Do we elect our presidents on the basis of stale metaphors and the manipulations of pernicious language mavens? We put these questions to George Lakoff, Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley and author of "Thinking Points: Communicating Our American Values and Vision."
