EP58: Steven Pinker: Enlightenment & the Muslim World

Steven Pinker is the Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Better Angels of Our Nature and most recently, Enlightenment Now, which Bill Gates has called "my new favourite book of all time." He joins us in this episode of Secular Jihadists for a wide-ranging and truly fascinating conversation about Enlightenment values, religion, humanism, "reform," and other topics as they pertain to the Muslim world.
