Description of the book "Good angels of human nature. Why did violence reign in the world and has it become less?" Steven Pinker
Why does humanity continue to fight, and how does it manage to keep the peace? Steven Pinker explores these important questions by analyzing the two sides of human nature: the demons that provoke violence and the angels that promote peaceful coexistence. It examines manifestations of aggression, including revenge, dominance, predatory violence, and ideologies that lead to conflict. At the same time, Pinker highlights positive human qualities — empathy, rationality, morality — that help prevent violence.
The author supports his conclusions with sociological data, psychological research and historical examples. The book analyzes why there has been almost no civil war in Europe over the past 75 years and provides insight into what mechanisms work to maintain peace. Especially for the Ukrainian edition, Pinker wrote a foreword, which examines the impact of the Putin regime on the current conflict and how to restore lasting peace.
Who is this book for?
The book is suitable for everyone who is interested in social processes, causes of violence and peace, and seeks to base their knowledge on facts and statistical data.
Why should you read it?
It is one of the favorite books of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, which indicates its intellectual significance and influence. The book provides a deep understanding of global trends in violence and peace.
