"Rahel Jaeggi has convincingly argued that progress can only be understood as a form of social change. To my knowledge, that’s a unique and urgently needed position within the contemporary debate, because it is mostly fixated on the normative justification of progress. Even decolonial authors such as Amy Allen ‘focus […] on the idea of normative or moral-political progress’ (Allen 2016: 10). Thus, they tend to overlook that progress is a form of social change. But questions can also be addressed about how Jaeggi understands progress as social change. For Jaeggi, at the end of the day, progress seems to be measured by whether a form of life proves to be ‘open’ or ‘rational’ (135) in the face of problems. If we say that society just wasn’t open enough to make progress, then we seem to be assuming another – albeit highly abstract – idea of progress of history. From a Marxist perspective, this ignores that progress itself is socially conditioned. In The Poverty of Philosophy Marx writes: ‘[n]o antagonism, no progress. This is the law that civilisation has followed up to our days. Till now the productive forces have been developed by virtue of this system of class antagonisms.’ (Marx 2010a: 132) Materialistically, progress or regression result from shifting relations of domination. Therefore, the two categories indicate certain directions of social change. Accordingly, progress is made by those classes, groups (or forms of life) who enforce their position in society. Consequently, progress is never a generalised movement of history, but emerges from the always already contradictory development of social relations."

marxandphilosophy.org.uk‘Progress and Regression’ by Rahel Jaeggi reviewed by Leon SwitalaIn Progress and Regression, social philosopher Rahel Jaeggi wants to make the concepts of progress and regression fruitful again. This is a challenging project, as post- and decolonial criticism has left progress in a rather battered state in recent years. For example, back in 2016, Amy Allen criticised in The End of Progress that renowned representatives of recent critical theory (that is, Jürgen Habermas, Axel Honneth and Rainer Forst) postulate a universal progress of history. This is problematic, as it ignores the fact that progress has also served to justify the West’s imperial claims to power from the eighteenth century…

After years in my youth where I wanted to use Linux on my workstation but was held back, because software I wanted to run required a windows machine, I can finally report that I currently would like to run freeBSD on my workstation but am being held back because software I want to run requires a Linux machine.

The Bright Side

The study reveals three essential points.

Firstly, there's a narrative that children benefit from their parents' sacrifices.

However, findings show that parents are also progressing, moving up alongside their kids! They’re not stagnating; they’re improving in parallel.
