Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of the theory of progress from its inception among the ancients through its maturation in Christian thought. The author examines the nascent forms of this idea in India, Egypt, and Greece, where concepts such as social hierarchy, the separation of the individual from the collective, and the idea of unchanging natural laws hindered its development. He then turns to the profound impact of Christianity, which introduced the idea of a personal and loving God, the equality of all human souls, and the perfectibility of humankind. The author delves into the writings of Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and other Christian thinkers, tracing how their ideas laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of progress as a continuous and inevitable march towards a better future. By examining these historical roots, this book sheds light on the origins and complexities of a concept that has played a central role in shaping our world.
