New Social Movements and the Concept of Progress
Lino Veljak
; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb
Sažetak
This paper deals with two major modern concepts of progress: the concept of progress as the historical process of human emancipation, and the concept of progress as the qualitative growth of material productive forces. The appearance of new social movements has revealed the limits of progress based upon the latter concept. Having this in mind, the author refutes the justifiability of the uncritical appraisal of the progressiveness or regressiveness of new social movements. At the same time, he points out some of the elements which, in turn, suggest the possibility of judging the emancipatory character of these movements. Finally, the author discusses the consequences of these reflections in reference to the appearance of some of the forms of new social movements in Yugoslavia.
