About “The Open Society and Its Enemies (1+2)”
This 1945 essay by Karl Popper argues that an open society provides its citizens with a mechanism for changing government, while a closed society does not, forcing citizens to rely on extra-legal revolution. Popper analyzes the open-closed society debate using Plato, Hegel, and Marx as exemplars of closed-society advocacy, contrasting historicist and rational motivations.
