Science and the Myth of Progress

Today's belief in an endless progress tends toward an almost total rejection of spiritual wisdom's world views as being naive, out-moded, and contrary to empirical evidence.

The purpose of this anthology is to provide access to information, through a diverse selection of eminent authors, that can assist open-minded people in evaluating this question of the nature of modern &quote;progress.&quote;
