Enlightenment now : the case for reason, science, humanism, and progress / Steven Pinker. by Pinker, Steven, 1954- author. New York : Penguin Books, 2019. Subjects Progress.   Civilization, Modern -- 21st century.   Enlightenment.   Social change.   Quality of life.   Humanism.   Reason. ISBN:  9780143111382 (paperback) 0143111388 (paperback) Description:  xvii, 556 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  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. Far from being a naive 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.44 Pi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
