Summary

This conference presents a critical dialogue regarding the evolution of the idea of progress within the modern era, specifically analyzing the decline of the 19th-century belief that humanity could overcome systemic issues. The event explores how the 20th century grew skeptical of human agency, challenging the notion that we should simply regain our sense of freedom through individual effort or utopian ideals.

The event invites participants to listen to interviews and talks, examining deep philosophical questions such as the nature of progress and what it means to regain agency. Attendees will gain insights from leading experts and thinkers, including researchers from the Roots of Progress Institute, Abundance Institute, and the Institute for Humane Studies, who discuss the current state of progress theory.
