"the modern view combining relativism and progress as widely understood is incoherent. A true relativism would assume that no worldview is better than another; a true progressivism would assume that worldviews are moving closer and closer to a predetermined and preferred goal. The two beliefs are mutually exclusive. The assumption of the superiority of 'our' views to that of older cultures is the most stubborn remaining variety of ethnocentrism."
Jeffrey Burton Russell, Inventing the flat earth: Columbus and modern historians (New York: Praeger, 1991), 76.
