1169235The Idea of Progresshttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-idea-of-progress-3/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/243579/16d13c51-05a3-4b2c-9150-6f1feaf9be77.jpg?v=6387000768413700004646MXNSharp InkInStock/Ebooks/<p>In The Idea of Progress, J. B. Bury delves into the evolution of the concept of progress, exploring its philosophical roots, historical developments, and implications for society. Written in a clear and engaging prose style, Bury synthesizes ideas from diverse thinkers, examining the interplay between scientific advancements, social reform, and the perception of human improvement. The work is situated in a late 19th to early 20th-century context, a period marked by rapid industrialization and burgeoning Enlightenment ideals, prompting critical reassessment of humanitys trajectory. J. B. Bury, a prominent historian and philosopher, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including positivism and historical materialism. His background in classical studies and dedication to historical scholarship equipped him with a nuanced understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of progress. Burys reflections often stem from a desire to reconcile optimistic views of progress with the darker realities of history, making his work particularly relevant in an age of both promise and peril. For readers interested in the philosophical and historical dimensions of progress, Burys work is indispensable. It invites a critical examination of our assumptions about advancement and encourages thoughtful reflection on the future paths humanity might take. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the layered meanings of progress in our complex world.</p>...1163503The Idea of Progress4646https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-idea-of-progress-3/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/243579/16d13c51-05a3-4b2c-9150-6f1feaf9be77.jpg?v=638700076841370000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239788028285258_W3siaWQiOiJiZWE0Y2M3MC1mZGVhLTQ4MGYtYmU2Zi1kOThmODcwMTBlNWUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ2LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9788028285258_<p>We may believe in the doctrine of Progress or we may not, but in either case it is a matter of interest to examine the origins and trace the history of what is now, even should it ultimately prove to be no more than an idolum saeculi, the animating and controlling idea of western civilisation.
