| Description: |
A collection of papers which were written for a conference on the topic of "Social progress and sociological theory: movements, forces and ideas at the end of the 20th century". |
| Synopsis: |
Rethinking Progress provides a challenging reevaluation of one of the crucial ideas of Western civilization; the notion of progress. Progress often seems to have become self-defeating, producing ecological deserts, overpopulated cities, exhausted resources, decaying cultures, and widespread feelings of alienation. The contributors, from all over the world, present their diversified perspectives on the fate of progress. |
