Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Meliorism is the idea in metaphysical thinking that progress is a real concept leading to an improvement of the world. It holds that humans can, through their interference with processes that would otherwise be natural, produce an outcome which is an improvement over the aforementioned natural one. In comparison, one may contrast this concept with that of apologism. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
