Forward movement or advance. Science progresses, providing more comprehensive theories about the world, and these theories can be tested.

Metaphysical philosophies of history as a form of purposive evolution (such as in the works of German thinkers G W F Hegel and Karl Marx) try to show that progress (variously defined) is inevitable, as it is in teleology (the belief that all change serves a purpose).
