Abstract
This article deals with the concept of progress, its development throughout recent history and how it can modify our perceptions by providing new guidelines to understand the world around us, especially once we are devoted to design a theoretical and scientific framework to discuss the idea of globalization. Moreover, a proposal to take a closer look to the concept of progress from the field known as Analogic Hermeneutics is presented, trying to overcome the love or hate dichotomy that the concept of progress usually arises when considered by different sectors of the academic world.
