The Open Society and Its Enemies: New One-Volume Edition

The Open Society and Its Enemies is a groundbreaking book by Karl Popper that has attained legendary status on both the Left and Right.

This monumental achievement is an uncompromising defense of liberal democracy and a powerful attack on the intellectual origins of totalitarianism.

Written in 1945, this two-volume work argues 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.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance of protecting individual freedom and democracy.
