Abstract
: In recent times, the question of the sense of history, the future and what is to come seems to have become an obsolete issue. The aim of this paper is to assess, in light of a series of considerations about the idea of ‘ progress ’ , the possibilities of restoring this question in the context of discussions in the field of the philosophy of history, which have relegated these kinds of issues to the background and have confined specialists to the area of the epistemology of history or literary theory.
