Synopsis
«The Open Society and Its Enemies» is, according to Bertrand Russell, a work of great importance, worth reading for its brilliant critique of the enemies of democracy, both ancient and modern.
This glorious work is indispensable for students, political scientists, and politicians, as the author explores not only ancient Greek philosophy and modern philosophical movements from Kant to the present day, but also examines the art of government, the history of the development and decline of Greek democracies, and provides a model of scientific logic and critical analysis. Karl Popper focuses on the task of the social sciences, analyses the history of fascism and communism, and criticises the historicism of Plato, Hegel and Marx. With this masterfully written book, the author makes a significant contribution to the development of democratic ideas.
