Civilization and Progress by Radoslav A. Tsanoff Pdf

Historical and systematic in its treatment, this work reviews the idea of progress in Western thought as it relates to civilization, in a more comprehensive survey than is to be found in previous writings on the subject. In the author's view, the history of civilization reveals an increasing range of human capacity, both for good and for evil, depending upon men's choice between contending values. From this standpoint, the work proceeds to the exploration of such fields of social activity as the evolution of the family, the emancipation of women, economic conditions and technology, intellectual and aesthetic values, moral and religious experience. Civilization and Progress is marked by balanced and judicious treatment, very broad learning, and a lucid and forceful style. The author asks us to consider the alternatives we face and to reflect on the choices which men have made in the past, which confront us in the present world crisis, and on which our destiny hangs in the future. Seminal in scholarship and creativity, this work will interest those concerned with the Western intellectual tradition and with the condition of mankind.

A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright Pdf

Each time history repeats itself, so it's said, the price goes up. The twentieth century was a time of runaway growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water — the very elements of life. The most urgent questions of the twenty-first century are: where will this growth lead? can it be consolidated or sustained? and what kind of world is our present bequeathing to our future?In his #1 bestseller A Short History of Progress Ronald Wright argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a 10,000-year experiment we have participated in but seldom controlled. Only by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster that humanity has repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we recognize the experiment's inherent dangers, and, with luck and wisdom, shape its outcome.

Civilization Progress (Classic Reprint) by John Beattie Crozier Pdf

Excerpt from Civilization Progress It were tedious to the reader were I to recount here the various mischances - want of stereotyping, etc. - which have kept this work out of print for more than three years, in the face of a steadily increasing public demand; but in issuing a new edition it is necessary, perhaps, that I should offer some remarks on the alterations and additions which I have deemed it expedient to make in the original text. The alterations are few, being limited chiefly to the titles of one or two of the chapters, my object being to enable the reader to see more clearly, and at a glance, the essential connexions of the successive chapters in a work, the subject-matter of which is so wide and complex that the approaches to it must of necessity be more or less circuitous and involved. And accordingly, for 'How is Justice done?' the original title first chapter of the Second part, I have substituted 'How is Civilization possible?'; and for 'The End of Government?'

The Story of Human Progress by Frank Wilson Blackmar Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of Human Progress: A Brief History of Civilization The earnest demand for a closer study of social progress and societary relations is the reason for writing this book. To attempt to understand present conditions, or to advocate social reforms without an adequate conception of the elements of progress, or a fair knowledge of the road over which man has traveled to reach his present position, is to lead to wrong conclusions. The present volume is an elementary treatise on the history of civilization, especially designed for those who desire a brief survey of the whole field. Such a brief survey of the progress of man must, of necessity, refrain from any attempt to recount the history of the tribes, nations, or races to which it refers, but rather must dwell upon the philosophy of civilization and the judgments of history. Yet, within this little volume are recorded all of the principal steps of human progress and a presentation of the best results of the study of philosophy and history. In order not to appear too philosophical for the purpose of the book, the history of progress is approached, so far as it may be, from the concrete side. Every branch of knowledge has its own particular charms, but the story of mans progress from a state of savagery to that of culture and learning engages the attention and arouses sympathetic interest like no other.

Civilized to Death by Christopher Ryan Pdf

The New York Times bestselling coauthor of Sex at Dawn explores the ways in which “progress” has perverted the way we live—how we eat, learn, feel, mate, parent, communicate, work, and die—in this “engaging, extensively documented, well-organized, and thought-provoking” (Booklist) book. Most of us have instinctive evidence the world is ending—balmy December days, face-to-face conversation replaced with heads-to-screens zomboidism, a world at constant war, a political system in disarray. We hear some myths and lies so frequently that they feel like truths: Civilization is humankind’s greatest accomplishment. Progress is undeniable. Count your blessings. You’re lucky to be alive here and now. Well, maybe we are and maybe we aren’t. Civilized to Death counters the idea that progress is inherently good, arguing that the “progress” defining our age is analogous to an advancing disease. Prehistoric life, of course, was not without serious dangers and disadvantages. Many babies died in infancy. A broken bone, infected wound, snakebite, or difficult pregnancy could be life-threatening. But ultimately, Christopher Ryan questions, were these pre-civilized dangers more murderous than modern scourges, such as car accidents, cancers, cardiovascular disease, and a technologically prolonged dying process? Civilized to Death “will make you see our so-called progress in a whole new light” (Book Riot) and adds to the timely conversation that “the way we have been living is no longer sustainable, at least as long as we want to the earth to outlive us” (Psychology Today). Ryan makes the claim that we should start looking backwards to find our way into a better future.
