After Progress: Finding the Old Way Forward

"In a time when philosophers, like the rest of us, typically take progress for granted without ever pausing to question its goodness, Mr. O'Hear's audacious and deeply pessimistic conclusion is refreshing. He deserves credit for keeping alive the ideas of the weightiest critics of the modern age and for applying them to our time--a time marked by little of the soul-searching he wishes to inspire in us. Whether or not we accept his analysis in all its gloomy detail, we surely must benefit from pausing in our daily pursuits of happiness to ask if we have really made any progress toward reaching that elusive goal toward which we strive."Anthony O'Hear is the author of 'After Progress: Finding the Old Way Forward', published 2000 under ISBN 9781582340401 and ISBN 1582340404.
