"Progress and History" by Francis Sydney Marvin is a collection of essays likely written in the early 20th century. The work explores the concept of progress throughout human history, emphasizing its multifaceted nature across various domains such as art, science, government, and morality. The book addresses how different cultural and philosophical perspectives contribute to our understanding of progress and its implications for humanity. The opening of the volume sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the idea of progress. Marvin discusses a casual conversation where he and his friends reflect on the meaning of progress, identifying themes like the increase of knowledge, power, and humanity's appreciation for itself. He argues that an inquiry into progress provides hope and guidance, especially during difficult times such as war. He emphasizes a historical perspective, examining the origins of the idea of progress from ancient Greek thought through to modern interpretations, highlighting how human understanding of progress has evolved while grappling with its inherent challenges.
