Sizemskaya, I. N. Once Again About the Idea of Progress and Related Theory of Social Evolution

Abstract: Review: the author of the article suggests to talk about the problem of social evolution and its criteria based on axiological meanings of modern social transformations connected with modernization and globalization processes. Admitting that the present day situation cannot be adequately described as a ‘formula of progress’ (the term born in Enlightenment epoch) the author tried to show that nevertheless the term and the theory of social evolution behind the term have much food for research and play a significant role for social modeling.
