Reflexiones sobre el progreso moderno

sus paradojas y consecuencias sociales. Una mirada desde Kant, Marx y Marcuse

Abstract

The present work shows the paradoxes inherent in the progress that has led to modernity, that is, the selfdestruction that has led to that for the human race. The Marxist perspective recognizes the achievements of modern society, however, it raises the need to critically review the social consequences of those, because they have also finally caused suffering, precariousness for a large majority of society. The rise of instrumental reason, science and technology have emerged as the spearhead of a society that destroys the possibilities it creates, nullifying the possibility of a society that realízes the most genuine ends of humanity.
