PHI 440M THE IDEA OF PROGRESS
An exploration of the idea of progress as it relates to different areas of inquiry and innovation, to our individual lives, and to history as a whole. By what standards should we measure progress? Is it an idea we can do without, or is it built into our nature as storytelling animals? Should we interpret history as a story of cycles, progress, regress, or chaos?
