Dr. Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist, best-selling author, and a beloved board member of IBB, is one of the most influential minds of our time. Dr. Pinker has been a supporter of our work, donating the rights and even his own funds for our translation efforts. Currently available on Bayt al Hikma 2.0, his translated works, to name a few, Rationality and Enlightenment Now!, have inspired both readers and translators across the MENA region and garnered numerous downloads and praise.
