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
很难想象，如今我们竟然要为“理性、科学、人文主义和进步”寻找例证。很长时间以来，这些稳固的价值观定义了我们的现代生活。多数人都以为，抨击这些价值观的人来自极端右翼分子：他们是进步主义的敌人、是反科学宗教运动的先锋、是封闭心智的代表。然而，史蒂芬·平克（Steve...
评分尚未启蒙的思考 斯蒂芬·平克令人尴尬的新书不过是一篇写给慌乱中的自由主义者的孱弱布道词 译者的话 《今日的启蒙》（Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress） 是当代著名认知科学家和公共知识分子，哈佛大学教授斯蒂芬·平克（Steven Pin...
评分 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...

评分第一次听完了一本语音书
评分看过觉得心态稍微好一点，但是最近疫情洗礼得，感觉又要抑郁了，真的是，越看新闻越抑郁
评分此书可以颠覆人们关于自身处境和当前人类境况的错误观点与感性判断。作者对于人类的现在和未来，抱持鲜明且有理有据的乐观态度。用数据和事实证明，当今这个时代，是人类历史上最好的时代。不只是比历史好一点，而是好很多。不只是在某几个方面，远超以往的时代。而是在几乎所有方面，都优于过去。这一切进步和成就，源于对启蒙运动核心观念的践行：理性、科学、人文主义。这些观念和价值，需要通过新一轮启蒙运动来捍卫并发扬。它们是人类及每位个体解决自身所面临的问题的终极武器。
评分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。
