The book contains a particularly clear apraisal - the best in the literature, I thought - of arguments for the rationality thesis from the "principle of Charity". (C. 4), as well as a careful, thorough and sophisticated examination of the arguments which portray the rationality thesis as the ... outcome of evolution by natural selection ... The whole book is written in a clear, lively and enjoyable style. It is carefully-argued throughout ... I strongly recommend it
to lecturers and students of the philosophy of mind and cognition as the best comprehensive survey of the literature on rationality.
