This progress is widespread both geographically and in its breadth of domains (life, health, peace, security, prosperity, etc). Humanity has enjoyed enormous progress over the past few generations.He also does an excellent job of countering the arguments of those who are skeptical of progress or hostile to it. While I believe that Pinker overstates the importance of the Enlightenment, reason and science towards the creation of progress, he does an excellent job of documenting progress and explaining why we should care. If you would like to learn more about progress, read my book From Poverty to Progress: How Humans Invented Progress, and How We Can Keep It Going. Pinker shows that humanity has experienced enormous progress and claims that this progress comes from beliefs promoted by the Enlightenment. If you enjoy this summary, please support the author by buying the book. Title: Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism and Progress
