A landmark defense of democracy that has been hailed as one of the
most important books of the twentieth century One of the most
important books of the twentieth century, The Open Society and Its
Enemies is an uncompromising defense of liberal democracy and a
powerful attack on the intellectual origins of totalitarianism. An
immediate sensation when it was first published, Karl Popper's
monumental achievement has attained legendary status on both the
Left and Right. Tracing the roots of an authoritarian tradition
represented by Plato, Marx, and Hegel, Popper argues that the
spirit of free, critical inquiry that governs scientific
investigation should also apply to politics. In a new foreword,
George Soros, who was a student of Popper, describes the
"revelation" of first reading the book and how it helped inspire
his philanthropic Open Society Foundations.
