About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will learn that the Enlightenment, i.e. reason, science, humanism and progress, are more than ever current values.
You will also learn :
- that in the Middle Ages, natural disasters were interpreted as signs of God's wrath;
- that the German philosopher Immanuel Kant is the most important theorist of the Enlightenment;
- that several members of the Trump administration were convinced of collusion with Russia;
- that Donald Trump is in favor of lifting the taboo on the use of nuclear weapons;
- that Donald Trump has publicly claimed that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, while the latter was born in the United States;
- that science has freed mankind from terror and superstition.
This book is one of the writings inspired by Donald Trump's presidency. In the face of the anti-progression rhetoric of the current U.S. president, the blood of Steven Pinker, a world-renowned scientist and academic, has done just one trick. He felt compelled to write a true summation, recapitulating the contribution of the Enlightenment to the world and to humanity, as well as the colossal progress made under its auspices. And this in all fields. If only to make lie all the skeptics who desperately cling to formulas from another age, from another time, which no enlightened person can want anymore. Yes, a thousand times yes, the Enlightenment and progress are still relevant in the 21st century.
