Hannah Arendt Quotes About Progress

Quotes about: Progress

In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.

  Hannah Arendt

  Freedom, Taken, Progress

• Of all human activities, only labor, and neither action nor work, is unending, progressing automatically in accordance with life itself and outside the range of willful decisions or humanly meaningful purposes.

  Hannah Arendt

  Meaningful, Work, Decision

• If a given science accidentally reached its goal, this would by no means stop the workers in the field, who would be driven past their goal by the sheer momentum of the illusion of unlimited progress.

  Hannah Arendt

  Mean, Past, Goal
