	Progress (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Progress in history has been linked to progress in philosophy, as the philosophy of history was linked to history of philosophy.
		Progress can be conceived as linear, spiral (as in Hegel's philosophy of history), positive ("social progress") or negative (decadence), circular (as in various circular conceptions of history, such as Plato's Golden Age; in this case, it can't really be said to be a "progress", since it invariably returns to an initial original state).
		Philosophy, then, is seen as a sort of midwife: she does not give birth to any progress of her own, but proves her worth by making it possible for others to bring their progress into the world.

	Metaphilosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many people consider the recursive study of philosophy to be a part of any philosophical enterprise because it is intertwined with all branches of philosophy as is logic or epistemology.
		The questions of this form of Philosophy consist mainly of those relevant to the search for a happy life and the cultivation of the virtues, although political and religious philosophy is featured in recorded thinking.
		Whether or not there is progress in philosophy depends on one's assumptions about the nature of philosophy and the criteria of progress.

		In particular, philosophy seems to lack the sort of developments that Thomas Kuhn called paradigms--achievements which, by their success, clearly determine which sort of questions are to be asked and what sort of considerations count as evidence for or against answers to those questions.
		Philosophy, then, is seen as a sort of midwife (although certainly not in the Socratic sense): she does not give birth to any progress of her own, but proves her worth by making it possible for others to bring their progress into the world.
		Meta-philosophical reflections on the nature of philosophy and the possibility of philosophical progress are not specialized side-notes to other philosophical work, but rather are involved in--and themselves involve--key debates in metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and the theory of value.

	Philosophy of history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philosophy of History is an area of philosophy concerning the eventual significance, if any, of human history.
		Philosophy of History should not be confused with the History of Philosophy, which is the study of the development of philosophical ideas through time.
		Maine described the direction of progress as "from status to contract," from a world in which a child's whole life is pre-determined by the circumstances of his birth, toward one of mobility and choice.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philosophy
		On moral philosophy, in the wide sense, have been grafted the philosophy of law, the philosophy of society, or social philosophy (which is much the same as sociology), and the philosophies of religion and of history.
		Among the causes of this exaggerated vogue are the impulse given by the Schools of Cousin and of Hegel, the progress of historical studies in general, the confusion arising from the clash of rival doctrines, and the distrust engendered by that confusion.
		Philosophy is like a tower whence we obtain the panorama of a great city -- its plan, its monuments, its great arteries, with the form and location of each -- things which a visitor cannot discern while he goes through the streets and lanes, or visits libraries, churches, palaces, and museums, one after another.

	ADLER ARCHIVE: The Basic Difference Between Science and Philosophy
		Philosophy flowered at its birth in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. The philosophical insights and wisdom it attained in those early centuries were preserved and passed on after the Dark Ages in the mediaeval universities.
		It is clearly wrong, however, to expect the same kind of progress -- or the same rate of progress -- from a noninvestigative as from an investigative mode of inquiry, especially in view of the bearing of its investigative procedure on the main factor responsible for progress in science.
		To judge philosophy inferior by expecting or demanding that its pattern of agreement and disagreement should conform to the pattern exhibited by science is to judge it by reference to a model or standard that is as inapplicable as the model of scientific progress is inapplicable to philosophy.

	Nisbet, The Idea of Progress: The Online Library of Liberty
		In the nineteenth century, on both sides of the Atlantic, the belief in progress attained the status of a popular religion among the middle class, and was widely declared by intellectuals to be a fixed law.
		Without the sustaining, sacralizing belief in human progress, and in the uses of state and political power to facilitate this progress, it is unlikely that totalitarianism as we have known it in the twentieth century would have come about.
		Belief in progress, or the possibility of progress once control of government was placed in the hands of scientists and technologists, was as strong in technocratic minds as belief had been among St. Simonians, Comteans, and Fourierists in the nineteenth century.

	Monroe County GA Agrarian--I'll Take My Stand: Critique of the Philosophy of Progress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		As soon as "progress" was accepted as an indisputable axiom, the notion of evolution became easier to accept.
		And the evolutionary progress of homo sapiens is marked by an obvious racism that establishes the earliest ancestors of man to be an ape-like Negro who "evolved" into Cro-Magnon man, who looks remarkably like any modern Caucasian.
		The industrialised, socialistic philosophy of progress is a philosophy of human death, because citizens have been programmed by a constant indoctrination that the use of human beings as machines, as resources for the glory and the furtherance of "free enterprise" and "the greatest nation on earth " is as "American" as baseball and apple pie.

	Preface to LANGUAGE AS SIGNS: "Progress in Philosophy"
		Sometimes, too, we make progress by kicking disciplines, our children, out of the nest--the hard sciences all began as kinds of philosophy, as did rhetoric, law, psychology, and the social sciences, and they were sent away when it became clear that there was something nonphilosophical at which they could make a living.
		In philosophy, questioning this account, and questioning traditional problems in the way I do here, is relatively recent and uncommon, and has been traumatic to the discipline.
		Because claims about methods are seductive and distracting, because the issue of proper method is timely in philosophy, and because the topic of methods is bottomless and uninstructive if pursued out of any context of work on a problem, the focus for most of the book is on the problem.

	Adventures in Philosophy: Classical Essay
		In this constant movement of philosophy and constant linear progress of positive science, we see the condemnation of the former.
		It is in vain to argue that because no progress has yet been made, we are not therefore to conclude none will be made; it is in vain to argue that the difficulty of philosophy is much greater than that of any science, and therefore greater time is needed for its perfection.
		The proof of this is in the general neglect into which philosophy has fallen, and the greater assiduity bestowed on positive science.

	Evolution and Philosophy: Progress and Direction in Evolution
		Others [cf Nitecki 1988] claim that there is only progress because any increase over zero is a net increase, and that different measures will give different results.
		The traditional notion of progress as an increase in perfection or optimality has been abandoned, for it rested on a view that goes back to the late neo-Platonists - the idea that all of reality is arranged in a heirarchy of increasing perfection.
		The idea of progress itself was a late medieval notion, taken from the secularisation of theology, especially from the doctrines called 'eschatology' (literally, the 'study of the Last Things') [Ruse 1997].

		If a person is serious about science then they cannot, without fear of contradiction, embrace a doctrine which requires, as humanism might, that human beings have free will or that the stuff of consciousness is non-physical and causally efficacious.
		To escape the possibility of contradiction by asserting the truth of the kind of science or philosophy which is, in principle, anti-reductionist in its approach to humans is to allow ideology to govern scientific and philosophical commitments.
		There certainly appears to be a tension between a mechanistic philosophy and humanistic outlook.

		Unfortunately, most of the essays that attempt to link science with spirituality (such as _Zygon_ Magazine) usually сеdе the high ground to science, then timidly trу to show how "new developments in quantum physics" or "morphogenetic fields" show that there is nоw a scientific bаsis for religion.
		What's so refreshing about _Science and the Myth of Progress_ is that it refuses tо water down the traditional doctrines in hopes that science will accommodate them; it instead proposes to return science to its rightful role as a tool, not an еnd in and of itself.

	Philosophy Faculty at Rice - Richard Grandy
		These interests in philosophy of logic, mathematics and science lead me to interests in the related problems in epistemology and metaphysics, and since language is essentially implicated in much our our knowledge, to philosophy of language as well.
		My current research is focussed mainly on issues concerning the logic and ontology of vagueness, "ordinary objects", the causes of philosophy, and on the nature of scientific inquiry with implications for science education.
