Hamid’s Reviews > The Moral Arc: How Science Makes Us Better People > Status Update

Michael Shermer’s The Moral Arc is a powerful defense of reason, science, and humanism as the true drivers of moral progress. With data, history, and clear arguments, Shermer shows how violence has declined, rights have expanded, and empathy has grown—not because of faith, but because of Enlightenment values. Inspiring, rational, and optimistic.
