Enlightenment Now

Enlightenment Now is a book by Steven Pinker that argues that the Enlightenment values of reason, science, and humanism have brought progress to humanity, and that we should continue to uphold them. The book covers various aspects of human well-being, such as health, prosperity, safety, peace, and happiness, and shows how they have improved over time.

The book also challenges the pessimistic views of some critics who claim that the world is getting worse, and defends the ideals of liberal democracy and global cooperation.
