The idea of progress from the Enlightenment to postmodernism is still very much with us. In intellectual discourse, journals, popular magazines, and radio and talk shows, the debate between those who are "progressivists" and those who are "declinists" is as spirited as it was in the late seventeenth century. In History of the Idea of Progress, Robert Nisbet traces the idea of progress from its origins in Greek, Roman, and medieval civilizations to modern times. It is a masterful frame of reference for understanding the present world. Nisbet asserts there are two fundamental building blocks necessary to Western doctrines of human advancement: the idea of growth, and the idea of necessity. He sees Christianity as a key element in both secular and spiritual evolution, for it conveys all the ingredients of the modern idea of progress: the advancement of the human race in time, a single time frame for all the peoples and epochs of the past and present, the conception of time as linear, and the envisagement of the future as having a Utopian end. In his new introduction, Nisbet shows why the idea of progress remains of critical importance to studies of social evolution and natural history. He provides a contemporary basis for many disciplines, including sociology, economics, philosophy, religion, politics, and science. History of the Idea of Progress continues to be a major resource for scholars in all these areas.

The idea of progress is a product of historical thinking. It is a bold interpretation of history that combines understandings of the past, perceptions of the present and expectations of the future. This Element examines the shifting scale of this past, present and future configuration from antiquity to the present day. It develops five categories that reveal the conceptual features of progress together with the philosophies of history in which they have been enmeshed, from temporal outlooks that held no notion of progress to universal histories that viewed progress as a law of nature, from speculation on the meaning and direction of history to the total rejection of all historical constructions. Global in scope and conversant with present-day debates in the theory and philosophy of history, the argument throughout is that the scale on which we conceive history plays a determining role in how we think about progress.

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.
