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.

最近看了一点也不什么来着,说平克其实招了很多人讨厌。我读了读,读到结尾,觉得实在肤浅,粗制滥造,它显然是娱乐新闻的性质,而不是严肃认真的思考。 娱乐新闻并不是由内容限定的,而是由态度。比如你不小心手碰了一个女同事屁股,第三个人看到了,他当场大声喊出来:他碰了...

书很厚实,觉得值100多块钱。但是当我翻了翻后发现,这书的1/3都是译者的注释。更荒谬的是这个湛庐文化竟然在里边打了多页的广告。我也是醉醉的了,突然好影响我对这书的期待了。 还是很期待内容能给我一些冲击,至于这书的其他第一视角的感触,已经让我失望了,曾经真的是抱着...
