Inherent in the idea of Progress is a firm belief that it is given to humanity to pass from a qualitatively inferior to a qualitatively higher stage, in a sequence that will ensure a radically better spiritual and material life for not just a part but the whole of the human community … Progress therefore means continuous and indefinite improvement of man’s faculties and growing success in pursuit of the greatest possible individual and collective happiness, by means of a harmonious integration of rational enquiry, scientific research, technology, economic development, political and social institutions, and private and public ethics.
