具体描述
Written in political exile during the Second World War and first published in 1945, Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies is one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. Hailed by Bertrand Russell as a 'vigorous and profound defence of democracy', its now legendary attack on the philosophies of Plato, Hegel and Marx exposed the dangers inherent in centrally planned political systems. Popper's highly accessible style, his erudite and lucid explanations of the thought of great philosophers and the recent resurgence of totalitarian regimes around the world are just three of the reasons for the enduring popularity of The Open Society and Its Enemies, and for why it demands to be read both today and in years to come. This is the second of two volumes of The Open Society and Its Enemies.

我阅读波普尔的经历 去年十月读到刘擎先生著的《悬而未决的时刻——现代性论域中的西方思想》(新星出版社2006年10版),其中有一章是论述波普尔,第十章《波普尔与决定论的终结》,印象十分的深刻。之所以这样说,除了刘擎先生浅白清晰的书写风格外,更多的是触及到了我原初阅...
亚里士多德认为本质(forms or essences)是终点(final cause or ends),因此只有通过变动来实现本质。相比之下,亚里士多德是乐观的(progressive),而柏拉图则是悲观的(decay)。波普尔认为柏拉图和亚里士多德权威的来源在于其哲学契合中世纪极权主义的利益。黑格尔则代...
