OPEN SOCIETY AND ITS ENEMIES - KARL R POPPER KA...

One of the most important books of the twentieth century  The Open Society and Its Enemies is
an uncompromising defense of liberal democracy and a powerful attack on the intellectual
origins of totalitarianism. An immediate sensation when it was first published  Karl Popper's
monumental achievement has attained legendary status on both the Left and Right. Tracing the
roots of an authoritarian tradition represented by Plato  Marx  and Hegel  Popper argues that
the spirit of free  critical inquiry that governs scientific investigation should also apply to
politics. In a new foreword  George Soros  who was a student of Popper  describes the
"revelation" of first reading the book and how it helped inspire his philanthropic Open Society
Foundations.
