This text offers a controversial treatment of Popper's political
ideas informed by the author'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together with research on unpublished material in the Popper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, he 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. In the text Popper's
political ideas are introduced by way of a discussion of their
development, which draws upon archive material. It also includes 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 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.
