• All this he relates in graceful contrapuntal fashion to the history of the political philosophy known as meliorism : the belief ( as Peter Medawar defined it ) that " the world can be improved by finding out what is wrong with it and then taking steps to put it right ."
• Meliorism has also been used by Arthur Caplan to describe positions in bioethics that are in favor of ameliorating conditions which cause suffering, even if the conditions have long existed ( e . g . being in favor of cures for common diseases, being in favor of serious anti-aging therapies as they are developed ).
• Central to the doctrine of humanism, in Gray s view, is the inherently utopian belief in meliorism; that is, that humans are not limited by their biological natures and that advances in ethics and politics are cumulative and that they can alter or improve the human condition, in the same way that advances in science and technology have altered or improved living standards.
