Is the Human Race Permanently Progressing Toward a Better Civilization?

By John Curtis Kennedy and Clarence Darrow

Book Overview

"Is the Human Race Permanently Progressing Toward a Better Civilization?" presents a compelling debate on the fundamental question of societal advancement. Featuring the perspectives of Clarence Darrow and John C. Kennedy, this work delves into the core aspects of human nature and the trajectory of civilization.

Darrow, a renowned lawyer and skeptic, challenges the notion of inevitable progress, arguing that human behavior and societal structures are cyclical and prone to regression.

This thought-provoking exchange invites readers to consider the complexities of history and the ongoing struggle to create a more just and enlightened world. A valuable resource for students of philosophy, history, and social sciences, this book provides a timeless examination of the human condition.
