The idea of progress- and the concept of it being of an absolute and linear nature - has been deeply embedded into the Western mind for many centuries. Ideas such as objectivism in science and social science, monotheism in religion, determinism in philosophy as well as the other three- I would say- can all arguably be simply other manifestations of this discourse, which arewhat lies behind the basis of how the western mind is taught to understand almost all aspects of physical reality.
