Harvard Professor Steven Pinker

Steven Pinker, who serves as FFRF’s honorary president, has won numerous awards for his research, his teaching and his many books, most notably "The Language Instinct," "How the Mind Works," "The Blank Slate" and "Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason Science, Humanism and Progress." He has been included in Foreign Policy magazine’s world's top 100 public intellectuals and Time’s 100 most influential people in the world today. Pinker is chair of the usage panel of the American Heritage Dictionary. He has been named Humanist of the Year and has received FFRF’s Emperor Has No Clothes Award. And now Pinker, who has completed an astonishing 40 years teaching as a professor, has created a class on rationality and taught it at Harvard. Very logically, that’s the topic of discussion for this episode: How to think rationally. Learn more about the Freedom From Religion Foundation at ffrf.org.
