Just Babies by Paul Bloom

Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil by Paul Bloom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An interesting little book with a thesis that is against the Blank Slate. Bloom argues that babies have a rough idea of good and evil, but that how that develops as they grow into adults depends largely on their environment. Interesting, but I've read bit and pieces of the research he references in a number of other places, including many of his sources, so not a lot of it was new to me. The thesis also meandered a bit more than I like.
