Enlightenment Now

Progress is real, measurable, and achievable if we embrace reason, science, and humanism.

In Enlightenment Now, Steven Pinker makes a compelling case that, despite headlines, the world is improving across health, wealth, knowledge, and human rights. Drawing on decades of research and statistical analysis, he illustrates how reason, science, and humanistic values have propelled society forward. Pinker challenges pessimism, showing that data often contradicts our fears, and that human progress is neither accidental nor inevitable, it is the result of deliberate thought and action.

Pinker explores the ways enlightenment values have transformed politics, medicine, technology, and education, and why defending these principles is critical in the modern world. With clarity and rigor, he addresses critiques and misconceptions while inspiring readers to appreciate the cumulative power of knowledge, innovation, and moral reasoning.

Ambitious, informative, and uplifting, Enlightenment Now is both a celebration of human achievement and a roadmap for sustaining progress. It reminds readers that understanding our past and embracing rationality are essential for shaping a better, more humane future.
