*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.
