Portada, 420 p. - Algunas páginas anotadas con lápiz de grafito. - Anotaciones y firma de anterior propietario y etiqueta de anterior vendedor en portadilla. - Contenido: In this second volume, Karl Popper delivers a profound critique of the historical and philosophical roots of totalitarianism by examining the influence of Hegel and Marx. He argues that Hegel’s historicism and Marx’s economic determinism created "closed" systems of thought that undermine individual responsibility and the scientific method in social planning. Popper defends the "open society" as a framework where critical reason and piecemeal social engineering allow for freedom and democratic progress without the violence of revolutionary utopias.
