The follow-up to Pinker’s groundbreaking The Better Angels of Our Nature presents the big picture of human progress: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science.
Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing.
Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature–tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking–which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation.
With intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.

读后感
文/宝木笑 最近，我们每个人最关注的事情就是疫情，我们每天祈祷那些数字能够降下来，我们为那些勇敢的逆行者和正在承受苦难的同胞泪目，我们力所能及地去做支持自己同胞的事情，我们也防护好自己和家人，除了购买生活必需品，我们都宅在家里。宅在家里的日子除了看书，也会看...
评分感觉平克是有一些问题的。读的时候就意识到了，现在这种感觉更清楚了。 一、判断力 科学不是绝对正确的，科学是去接近正确的方法。这一点并没有异议，但平克并没有继续强调相反方向的困难：对于那些用惯了不科学的方法认识世界、过生活的人来讲，科学方法也是很难掌握的。比如...
评分我们出生在一个无情的宇宙中，以极低的概率对抗着令生命成为可能的秩序，还持续面临着一切土崩瓦解的危险。我们被一种残酷竞争的力量所塑造。我们这根曲木造出来的东西，容易受到幻觉和自我中心意识的伤害，有时甚至愚蠢到令人吃惊的地步。 然而，人类的天性也被赐予了许多资源...
评分那是一个再普通不过的夜晚，我躺在床上，打开了这本书，仅仅是看完了前两页，我就忍不住分享内心的兴奋，向身边的男朋友喊到：这本书太适合我了！简直是量身为我定制！ 说完我就继续埋头看书了。直到看完这本书，我不得不说，它正是我一直以来寻找的那本书。 理性，科学，人文...
评分断断续续用了很长时间地翻看完，我对这本书的感情真的复杂至极。一方面在翻看的这些日子我知道很多糟糕透顶的事，而这本书绝大部分用各种主题描绘着“进步的当下”，可这丝毫没有平息我的愤怒和难过，徒增不耐烦罢了；另一方面我想我是明白作者所提倡的启蒙，我也接受用理性和...
用户评价
我的求生欲真的挺强，刚对人类社会产生巨大失落感，马上开始高强度阅读Steven Pinker试图缓解局势，重新相信我们在发展进步、世界在变好……具体效果待定，可能要加大马力来激活我逐渐被掩埋的乐观主义。 不患寡而不均的思维方式不可取，用发展的角度解决环境问题，民主的代价与价值……还是忍不住联想到疫情，不知这一场天灾人祸之后，世界会如何改变。
评分第一次听完了一本语音书
评分啰嗦，缺乏逻辑
评分有些书难读，但是读下来还是能学到一些东西，所以还是值得。这本书文字流畅，但是看完没觉得有什么收获，最多算鸡汤，太长，所以是特大的一锅鸡汤！作者对现状太乐观，数据的选择让人生疑。以后盖茨推荐的书要等一段时间再读，水分太多。
评分Pinker 怒了
