卡爾·波普爾爵士(Sir Karl Raimund Popper)是當代西方傑齣的科學哲學傢和社會哲學傢。他的《曆史決定論的貧睏》(The Poverty of Historicism)和《開放社會及其敵人》(The Open Society and its Enemies)是西方民主思想寶庫中的經典著作。波普爾曾經由於這兩部書獲得過英國女皇頒授的爵位。
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.
【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《...
評分这是一个相当具有戏剧色彩和讽刺性的事件。本来只想当闲暇的谈资,但又觉得又有点记录下来备忘的价值。 这个事件的关键词有:施特劳斯、波普尔。很显然,前一个关键词有激素的作用,很容易刺激人们的肾上腺素,让人们心跳加速、血液沸腾。而后一个关键词多少有点让我不好意思...
評分暗夜,不見星辰。逝水如斯,流年輪替。走笔怅叹,悲淒莫名!逝者如斯,时光之舟,载不动,万古同悲! 抚今追昔,“聚散终有期,日久见人心”的话语,看来还是不错的。谬托知己,有時,亦是人生中不可避免之经历……知音难覓,俞钟、管鲍、嵇阮、李杜之交,可遇而不可求。 叔本...
