«History and the Idea of Progress» is the essay collection edited by Arthur M. Melzer, Jerry Weinberger and M. Richard Zinman, in paperback (1995, English).
Essays arising from the debate opened by Francis Fukuyama's article «¿El fin de la historia?». Twelve cultural commentators respond to his thesis on liberal democracy as the goal of historical evolution, with a central essay by Fukuyama and alternative positions, and explore the historical and philosophical origins of the idea of progress.
Arthur M. Melzer, Jerry Weinberger and M. Richard Zinman teach political science at Michigan State University; the essays come from a 1991 symposium. Includes bibliography (pp. 241-261) and index.
For students and scholars of the history of ideas and political philosophy, and for readers interested in the debate on the end of history.
