Evolutionaries are people who see themselves as active agents of evolution -- or as a facet of evolution, itself -- and live out their evolutionary roles as consciously as they can, as a major aspect of their lives.

Evolutionaries usually see themselves engaged in conscious evolution and often are engaged in the conscious evolution of social systems and/or the creation of conscious social systems that can evolve themselves.

Evolutionaries sometimes note their odd kinship to revolutionaries with the word (r)evolutionaries.

Some guiding principles used by evolutionaries in their social creativity can be explored at Evolutionary Social Theory and Action.
