The Progress Trap (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Oxford, 2025
ISBN 10: 1509567623 ISBN 13: 9781509567621
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The idea of progress, one of the animating ideas of Western civilization, has now gone global. From Marxism and neoliberalism to todays mutant identity politics, it offers a framework of knowledge and confidence: an assurance that things will get better and that history is on our side. However, in doing this it creates a form of authority that is simultaneously imaginary and dishonest, resting on confidence in a future that is really contingent and unknowable. In The Progress Trap, Ben Cobley looks at this progressive mindset as a form of power, conferring a right to act and control others. Change, transformation and the new are the superior values, meaning destruction of the old: people, cultures and nature. It is a trap into which nearly all of us fall at times, so attractive are its stories and familiar its techniques. Hard-hitting but thoughtful, the book is a meditation on the sinister consequences of the progressive way of being: for ourselves, for our democracy, for our art and for the pursuit of real knowledge. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
