Summary/Abstract: This article unfolds the structure of progress and theory in modernity according to Hans Blumenberg. Furthermore, the article displays the science paradigm, a system that explains an important component of Blumenberg’s philosophy. The specific goal of the article is to demonstrate that the secularization, the progress and the theory belong all together to modernity that works as a functional immanent epoch, that, in the end, will express a better understanding of history in general and of modernity in particular.
