Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delivers a profound examination of the fascinating notion of long-term progress in human civilization, a widely held but rarely explored idea. The author meticulously combs through history and identifies two common theories used to explain the presence of progress: one rooted in biological evolution, and one crediting enlightenment and acquired wisdom. The author's insights, informed by thorough research, challenge common assumptions about our ability to consciously shape this progress. Despite acknowledging the potential for progress, the author highlights the limits of our control and presents an accessible yet critical perspective on the subject. This book will appeal to those intrigued by the nature of human progress, the role of science and reason in shaping our future and the fundamental challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for our civilization.
