The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined Steven Pinker Viking On Sale: October 4, 2011. Who primarily explores territories of language, the mind and human nature – has attempted to answer that question through data analysis in his newest book, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined. That's the arresting claim made by Harvard University cognitive neuroscientist Steven Pinker in his new book, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined. I battled my way through Better Angels. Straining “This book is about what may be the most important thing that has ever happened in human history,” he boldly asserts, and then continues: “Violence has declined over long stretches of time, and today we may be living in the most peaceable era in our species' existence.”. In The Better Angels of Our Nature, psychologist Steven Pinker stakes out a boldly optimistic view of the world, at a time when his readers are no doubt processing all kinds of bad news. Pinker has a new book coming out in October, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined, and I've been given an advanced copy of it to review. This old colonial idea was first popularly resurrected by Steven Pinker, not Diamond, so it's time to peruse the former's book, The Better Angels of Our Nature. Steven Pinker has written a game-changer on the little matter of how quickly humanity is headed for hell or redemption. This title is available on Netgalley.
