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.

查一本名叫《马克思主义——验尸》的书时无意间找到的,实在很佩服作者的做批判的勇气,基本没啥道理可讲,把书上的思想概括一下,再加点扭曲,然后就开始作神棍语了。 (《验尸》一书还没找到,有知道的朋友,请回帖告诉我,谢谢) 全文很长,名曰:析马克思主义意识形态理论...

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《...
评分本来早上想靠《无冬之夜2》打发过去的,然而鼠标莫名其妙的坏掉了,因此写篇波普尔的书评kill time。 《开放社会及其敌人》是我大一时候读的,当时作为哲学界麻瓜的我来说,刚入门就读这种书,是非常不理智的行为。哪怕波普尔被沃格林和施特劳斯抨击为极其肤浅,也不是普通人...
思辨性极强、信息量极大的一本书。1)naive monism, the characteristic of the 'closed society'. critical dualism, of the 'open society';2)There is no meaning in history. (we make our fate. )3)目前读还很吃力。内功不够!
