episode 23 - Idea of Progress- An Inquiry into Its Origin and Growth by John Bagnell Bury cover

Description

In this thought-provoking exploration, John Bagnell Bury, Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University in the early twentieth century, delves into the evolving concept of progress throughout history. He examines the ideas surrounding history from the classical period and traces the development of political and social progress through the writings of influential figures from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. As we reflect on the past century, it‚s fascinating to consider how these insights might deepen our understanding of progress today. - Summary by Barry Ganong
