Böcker av Eliana Berger

It is impossible not to believe because we all have a perspective on the world, and this is reflected in our beliefs. We say "I believe that" when expressing our opinion. We don't believe someone else when their views differ greatly from our values and worldview. However, belief is not static. Our perspective can change, and belief can change us. Did you know that belief influences our perception of pain, and that we hold different beliefs depending on whether we are speaking our native language or another?This volume brings together interviews on the topic of "belief" from various scientific disciplines. It includes interviews with social psychologist Pia Lamberty, political scientist Hendrik Ohnesorge, neuroscientist Katja Wiech from the University of Oxford, linguist Panos Athanasopoulos, economist Nicola Gennaioli, Paul Hedges, professor of Interreligious Studies in Singapore, and Alexander Kaurov from the Institute for the History of Science at Harvard University.With illustrations by artist Daria Chernyshova.
