Abstract


The disappearance of the idea of progress in post-Enlightenment thought constitutes one of the central tenets of the network of topics that make up contemporary social imagery. However, that tenet, which in a sense has been present from the origins of the Enlightment tradition, produces discursive effects of significant relevance, a particular kind of perverse effects related to thought, not always legitimized enough to certify that disappearance.
