About this ebook
As a sequel to Dialectics of Force: Ontόbia, this book is dedicated to the progress and force of society—topics that at first glance may seem trite, since mountains of literature are written on this subject. The author, however, having conscientiously presented the views on progress and force of all prominent thinkers over the past and the present chose to follow a distinct path and formulated the criteria of progress based on entirely different scientific paradigms. Moreover, he dared to formulate the two Principles of Social Development, which are akin in their fundamental nature to the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
This book is intended for teachers and students of philosophical and social sciences, as well as for all those who are interested in the problems of man and humanity.
