One of the most important books of the twentieth century, Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies is an uncompromising defense of liberal democracy and a powerful attack on the intellectual origins of totalitarianism. Popper was born in 1902 to a Viennese family of Jewish origin. He taught in Austria until 1937, when he emigrated to New Zealand in anticipation of the Nazi annexation of Austria the following year, and he settled in England in 1949. Before the annexation, Popper had written mainly about the philosophy of science, but from 1938 until the end of the Second World War he focused his energies on political philosophy, seeking to diagnose the intellectual origins of German and Soviet totalitarianism. The Open Society and Its Enemies was the result.
An immediate sensation when it was first published in two volumes in 1945, Popper's monumental achievement has attained legendary status on both the Left and Right and is credited with inspiring anticommunist dissidents during the Cold War. Arguing that the spirit of free, critical inquiry that governs scientific investigation should also apply to politics, Popper traces the roots of an opposite, authoritarian tendency to a tradition represented by Plato, Marx, and Hegel.
In a substantial new introduction written for this edition, acclaimed political philosopher Alan Ryan puts Popper's landmark work in biographical, intellectual, and historical context. Also included is a personal essay by eminent art historian E. H. Gombrich, in which he recounts the story of the book's eventual publication despite numerous rejections and wartime deprivations.
卡尔·波普尔爵士(Sir Karl Raimund Popper)是当代西方杰出的科学哲学家和社会哲学家。他的《历史决定论的贫困》(The Poverty of Historicism)和《开放社会及其敌人》(The Open Society and its Enemies)是西方民主思想宝库中的经典著作。波普尔曾经由于这两部书获得过英国女皇颁授的爵位。
This is one of the most important books written in the 20th century, taken with its second volume - a searching analysis of the modes of thinking of "development" that takes in Plato, Hegel, and Marx. The best edition is this one, that keeps more detai...
评分我阅读波普尔的经历 去年十月读到刘擎先生著的《悬而未决的时刻——现代性论域中的西方思想》(新星出版社2006年10版),其中有一章是论述波普尔,第十章《波普尔与决定论的终结》,印象十分的深刻。之所以这样说,除了刘擎先生浅白清晰的书写风格外,更多的是触及到了我原初阅...
评分【按语:上卷的一个浮光掠影;附加下卷结尾部分。 《开放社会及其敌人(The open society and its enemies)》或许是一本古怪的书:一方面,你会讶异于Popper在知识上广博的跨度,他了解当代神学家Karl Barth的神学思想,分析了哲学家Whitehead的思想,对历史学家Tonybee的《...

评分波普尔所提到的开放社会,是针对柏拉图的理想国、黑格尔的民族国家以及马克思的无产阶级专政的国家而言,后面这三种国家的形式都会导致专制、独裁的封闭社会。 波普尔说,柏拉图的理想国,来自于一种对史前原始社会的浪漫幻想以及一种唯美主义。我认为波普尔过多揣测了别人的心...
