The Political Thought of Karl Popper offers a controversial
treatment of Popper's ideas about politics, informed by Shearmur's
personal knowledge of Popper together with research on unpublished
material in the Popper archive at the Hoover Institute.
While sympathetic to Popper's overall approach, Shearmur offers
criticism of some of his ideas and suggests that political
conclusions should be drawn from Popper's ideas which differ from
Popper's own views. Shearmur introduces Popper's political ideas by
way of a discussion of their development, which draws upon archive
material. He then offers a critical survey of some of the themes
from his Open Society and Poverty of Historicism, and discusses the
political significance of some of his later philosophical ideas.
Wider themes within Popper's philosophy are drawn on to offer
striking critical re-interpretations of his ethical ideas and
social theory. The book concludes with a discussion which suggests
that Popper's views should have been closer to classical liberalism
than they in fact were.
