Fifty years ago, Routledge took a chance on a bulky manuscript by an unknown thinker, that, it turned out, made a decisive contribution to liberal thought–that book was The Open Society and its Enemies .
Popper s Open Society After Fifty Years presents a survey of the reception and influence of Karl Popper’s masterpiece, The Open Society and its Enemies over the fifty years since its publication in 1945, as well as applying some of its principles to the context of modern Europe. This volume contains papers by many of Popper’s contemporaries and friends, including such luminaries as Ernst Gombrich.
This volume shows the sharpness of Popper’s original analysis and the enduring quality of its theoretical foundations.
