In this brief introduction, Lakoff and Wehling reveal how cognitive science research has advanced our understanding of political thought and language, forcing us to revise common folk theories about the rational voter.
George Lakoff is Goldman Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a founder of the field of cognitive linguistics and author of many books including The All New Don't Think of an Elephant! (2015 edition) and Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think (2016, third edition).
