After Progress: Why We Should Change Our Thinking

by Anthony O'Hear

As we stand on the brink of the third millennium, a large part of the human race may feel justified in a certain complacency. We are very much in thrall to the idea that history is moving forward in a desirable - or progressive - direction. In much of the world - and certainly in its most prosperous parts - we are all basically liberal, fundamentally pacific and reasonably affluent.

[Bob Breckwoldt · Rating 2 out of 5]

The King Knut of philosophers. Both too pessimistic about the human condition and too optimistic about the way forward.But if you are disillusioned with the modern world then this book may help you to find the old way forward.
