En defensa de la Ilustración: Por la razón, la ciencia, el humanismo y el progreso

Given the current global challenges, I wonder what motivated him to emphasize progress and optimism over despair. Was there a specific moment or data that sparked this perspective?

The book covers a wide range of progress, but I was curious whether some readers felt certain successes were highlighted too much or too little, depending on their own views.

The emphasis on Enlightenment values might resonate differently around the world. Do others see this as universally applicable or more Western-centric?
