人类使用无数的工具，并不断创造新的工具。我们如此倾向于物质化，以至于我们在环境中实施的变化可能会危及我们的生存。因此，有必要质疑这种物质性的认知起源。《工具本能》一书对这一问题进行了研究，它完全摒弃了工具使用仅限于手工活动的观点。它提出了一个原创的观点，超越了大量关于人与工具之间关系的错误信念。作者认为，人类创造和使用工具的倾向依赖于我们产生我们自己的物理问题的能力（这可能是我们物种所独有的），从而导致了一种针对我们物理世界的推理。
Humans use countless tools and are constantly creating new ones. We are so prone to materiality that the changes we implement in our environment could put our very survival at stake. It has therefore become necessary to question the cognitive origins of this materiality. The Tool Instinct examines this subject by diametrically setting aside the idea that tool use is limited to manual activity. It proposes an original perspective that surpasses a great number of false beliefs regarding the relationship between humans and tools. The author argues that the human tendency to create and use tools relies on our ability (one that may be unique to our species) to generate our own physical problems, thereby resulting in a reasoning that is directed towards our physical world.
