Dear Colleagues,
If the thread on reasoning and judgement that went by a while back interested you, you may be interested in the current conversation in The Stone, the New York Times editorial page that hosts contributions by philosophers on current issues.
In the current issue, Michael Lynch mentions the work of Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber that we considered on this list. The Lynch piece is to be found here:

This will be followed by contributions from Gary Gutting and Jonathan Haidt, author of the recent book The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion.
If you did not do so at the time, you can follow the work by Mercier and Sperber cited here on their web sites:

On related issues, Daniel Kahneman has a good web site with information on his work and links to some publications as well as to lectures and videos.
