What's within: nativism reconsidered

---

This powerfully iconoclastic book reconsiders the influential nativist position toward the mind.

Fiona Cowie argues that this view is mistaken, demonstrating that nativism is an unstable amalgam of two quite different--and probably inconsistent--theses about the mind.
