Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 802 pages. Steven Pinker's riveting, myth-destroying new book reveals how, contrary to popular belief, humankind has become pr ogressively less violent, over millenia and decades. n nGiven th e images of conflict we see daily on our screens, can violence re ally have declined? And wasn't the twentieth century the most dev astatingly brutal in history? Extraordinarily, however, as Steven Pinker shows, violence within and between societies - both murde r and warfare - really has declined from prehistory to today. We are much less likely to die at someone else's hands than ever bef ore. n nDebunking both the idea of the 'noble savage' and a Hobb esian notion of a 'nasty, brutish and short' life, Steven Pinker argues that modernity and its cultural institutions are making us better people. He ranges over everything from art to religion, i nternational trade to individual table manners, and shows how lif e has changed across the centuries and around the world - not sim ply through the huge benefits of organized government, but also b ecause of the extraordinary power of progressive ideas. Why has t his come about? And what does it tell us about ourselves? It take s one of the world's greatest psychologists to appreciate and exp lain this story, and to show us our very natures.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Name sticker inside cover. Do we really care about each other less than we did in the past? This myth-destroying book shows that, contrary to popular belief, humankind has become progressively less, not more, violent from prehistory to today. Even the twentieth century, commonly perceived as the most brutal, is part of this trend. Debunking both the idea of the 'noble savage', and the Hobbesian notion of a 'nasty, brutish and short' life, and ranging over everything from the Enlightenment to warfare, art to religion, Steven Pinker argues that modernity and its cultural institutions is actually making us better people.
