One of the things that you will notice about culture and popular philosophy at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth was a certain sense of optimism that seems not to exist now. The last fragments of it seem to have disappeared in the sixties but most seemed to have disappeared (in the west anyway) earlier. How can we arrange it so that this sense of optimism and the inevitability of progress continues to the present day? Or alternately how can this sense be restored sometime in the future?
