英文摘要：
  The concept of progress has characterized human society from millennia. However, this concept is elusive and too often given for certain. The goal of this paper is to suggest a general definition of human progress that satisfies, whenever possible the conditions of independence, generality, epistemological applicability and empirical correctness. This study proposes, within a pragmatic approach, human progress as an inexhaustible process driven by an ideal of maximum wellbeing of purposeful people which, on attainment of any of its goals or objectives for increasing wellbeing, then seek another consequential goal and objective, endlessly, which more closely approximates its ideal fixed in new socioeconomic contexts over time and space. The human progress, in the global, capitalistic, and post-humanistic Era, improves the fundamental life-interests represented by health, wealth, expansion of knowledge, technology and freedom directed to increase wellbeing throughout the society. These factors support the acquisition by humanity of better and more complex forms of life. However, this study shows the inconsistency of the equation economic growth= progress because human progress also generates, during its continuous process without limit, negative effects for human being, environment and society.

中文摘要：
几千年来，进步的概念一直是人类社会的特征。然而，这一概念是难以捉摸的，而且经常给出不确定的。本文的目的是提出一个人类进步的一般定义，尽可能满足独立性、普遍性、认识论适用性和经验正确性的条件。这项研究提出，在一种务实的方法中，人类进步是一个取之不尽、用之不竭的过程，由有目的的人的最大福祉的理想驱动，在实现其增进福祉的任何一个或多个目标后，再无休止地寻求另一个相应的目标和目的，随着时间和空间的推移，这更接近其在新的社会经济背景下固定的理想。全球、资本主义和后人道主义时代的人类进步，改善了以健康、财富、知识扩展、技术和自由为代表的基本生活利益，旨在增进整个社会的福祉。这些因素支持人类获得更好和更复杂的生命形式。然而，这项研究显示了经济增长=进步这一等式的不一致性，因为人类进步在其持续的过程中也会对人类、环境和社会产生无限制的负面影响。
