The Myth of Progress. By Georg Henrik von Wright. Icelandic translation by Þorleif Hauksson. With an introduction by Sigríður Þorgeirsdóttir.
The Finn von Wright was one of the leading Nordic philosophers of the 20th century and a pioneer in modern logic. He published a groundbreaking work in ethics and was also the successor of Ludwig Wittgenstein and editor of his late works. In The Myth of Progress, von Wright examines the world of contemporary ideas and criticizes people's belief in progress through increased knowledge and technical skill. von Wright's text is a testament to discipline and insight, but is also accessible to anyone. (Bókatíðindi 2003).
