«Los ángeles que llevamos dentro» is Steven Pinker's essay, published by Ediciones Paidós in hardcover (1104 pages, in Spanish).
Steven Pinker explores why wars exist and whether one can ask why peace exists. With historical data, he argues that, despite wars like those in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Darfur, violence has decreased enormously over the centuries. The essay analyzes the implications of this decline and considers limiting violence achievable.
Work published in 2012 in the Transiciones collection, translated by Joan Soler Chic.
Aimed at readers of social psychology, sociology, and philosophy interested in the historical analysis of violence.
