Beschreibung
As the spiritual father of the Open Society, Sir Karl Popper became the court philosopher of Western democracy. The theory of a unity of method, developed in his groundbreaking scientific philosophy led to the unfurling of his political philosophy, although he himself never gave a coherent account of it. Jack Nasher aims to close the gap and develop Popper's political philosophy as a mosaic, mainly using Sir Karl's own words. The Open Society is characterised by a policy of taking small steps, whose worth is measured by their improvement of people's living standards. Tribal life is abandoned in favour of a free individual, whereas the frequent recurrence of a longing for tribalism is seen as a great danger. At the core of democracy is the possibility to get rid of leaders without bloodshed. Because it has little to do with "popular sovereignty", this misunderstanding often leads to disenchantments. Popper commandingly shows why only the Open Society could have led to the freest and richest society in known history.
