Karl Popper is best known for his contributions to the philosophy
of science and the history of ideas. Elements of Popper's thought
were clearly libertarian or conservative in character. His
politics, however, were recognisably social democratic. His ideal
of an open society was not a free market utopia, but a political
community in which diverse people engaged with one another in
constructive dialogue to seek political solutions to common
problems. If Popper made important and enduring contributions to
the libertarian and conservative traditions, it would be a mistake
to uncritically label him a conservative or libertarian. Rather,
Popper was a scholar who contributed to a range of different fields
without being shackled to one particular perspective or approach.
It is in this context that we should understand Popper's
contribution to libertarian and conservative thought.
