If so, what does progress really mean?Today, many believe that progress is a word to be avoided, a relic from a past, the dangerous product of an era of intellectual naivety that would be best forgotten. Yet, the idea of progress is rooted in a human impulse that is both profound and essential, a way of interpreting history without which our ability to plan the future, our very identity would be at stake.Written just before the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic-which is now putting its argument to the hardest of tests-this lucid essay explores how science and technology have been, and can still be, a powerful engine for human and humane advancement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51322727891232,"sku":"NEW1609456688","price":18.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Yu8-UrclL.jpg?v=1773107360","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/what-is-progress-1609456688","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
