Progressive History, Experimental Reason, Teleology

Hume's concept of past conjunction, a-temporal as is, can be extended to constituents of  a diachronic development.  So, from the latter, a projection of a pattern into the future is also a continuation of it.  Now, such a projection can, further, involve a value judgment of it, as well as, an assessment of how to implement it.  Thus, for example, Globalization is a thesis that includes: 1. Observation of increasing Human integration and control over the planet; 2. A projection that continued increase will eventuate in the establishment of a Cosmopolis; 3. An evaluation of that consequence; and 4. A determination of a course of action based on that evaluation, e. g. whether or not to promote it.  Such a concept of History can be called 'Progressive', and, since nothing beyond #1 is certain, can be analyzed as entailing Experimental Reason. In contrast, according to orthodox Dialectical History, the transition from an observation of past events to eventual totalization is unitary and Necessary, i. e. is Teleological.  To date, the accuracy of Dialectical History is questionable.
