In so doing, he offers a new viewpoint on the dynamics of scientific and technological progress.

How can we reason more effectively ? Everyday, we solve countless problems and take decisions by trusting our intuition, our common sense.

By driving out into the open, with the help of Massimo Piattelli Palmarini, the natural illusions and unconscious mechanisms which occupy our minds, and by working to help our judgement in the same way as psychoanalysis works to improve our emotional lives.
