Steven Pinker

(Illustrated by)

View Author's Page

Steven Pinker (Montreal, Canada, September 18, 1954) is one of the most influential psychologists, linguists, and science communicators internationally. With a PhD from Harvard and currently a professor at that university, his work has revolutionized the understanding of language, the mind, and human nature, advocating theories about linguistic instincts, the evolution of thought, and the power of reason. Among his most famous books are The Language Instinct (1994), How the Mind Works (1997, Pulitzer finalist), The Blank Slate (2002), The Better Angels of Our Nature (2011), Enlightenment Now (2018), and Rationality (2021), essential works addressing everything from the reduction of violence to the role of humanism and science in social progress.

Recognized for his rigor and clarity of exposition, Pinker has been included among the world's most influential thinkers by Time, Foreign Policy, and Prospect. He has received accolades such as the William James Book Prize (three times), the Los Angeles Times Science Book Prize, the George Miller Prize, the Humanist of the Year, and the Frontiers of Knowledge Award from the BBVA Foundation (2022). He was a Pulitzer finalist on two occasions and has received honorary doctorates in various countries. His work as a communicator and his defense of critical thinking and empirical evidence have established him as an essential voice for understanding the mind and human progress in the 21st century.
