  1. Anti-Historicismo e Engenharia Social Parcelar Em Karl Popper: Realismo Ou Moralismo Político?Júlio César Lima de Farias - 2024 - Kínesis - Revista de Estudos Dos Pós-Graduandos Em Filosofia 15 (39):213-230.
    Conhecido pela sua defesa da sociedade aberta, Karl Popper inseriu no seu pensamento uma atitude de combate ao historicismo, identificado como a raiz dos totalitarismos ao longo da história do Ocidente. Propôs também uma forma de intervenção na sociedade que estaria atrelada a essa conduta, a engenharia social parcelar. Essas noções podem ser contextualizadas a partir de um dos debates da filosofia contemporânea, a dicotomia moralismo político x realismo político. Considerando as premissas que dão origem ao debate, percebe-se que os (...)

  2. Karl Popper in Africa: Liberal-Communitarianism as Ideology for Democratic Social Reconstruction.Oseni Taiwo Afisi - 2023 - Journal of Philosophical Investigations 17 (42):1-12.
    This paper examines the liberal society that Popper lauds, that aims to be truly open, and discusses why another, more communitarian kind of society, particularly societies in Africa, may also reflect the quest for intellectual openness that is Popper’s ideal. Moreover, this paper avers reasons why Popper should be comfortable with such a liberal-communitarian mix. The inter-subjectivity in his critical rationalism is a balance of an explicit individualism, and an implicit social element (Afisi, 2016a). Popper is indeed an author of (...)

  3. Agassi and Popper on Nationalism – and Beyond.Malachi Hacohen - 2023 - Philosophy of the Social Sciences 53 (1):60-71.
    Popper and Agassi diverged on nationalism. Popper was a trenchant critic whereas Agassi formed a theory of liberal nationalism. At the root of their disagreement was Popper’s refusal of Jewish identity and rejection of Zionism, in contrast with Agassi’s affirmation of progressive Jewishness and liberal Zionism. Both Agassi and Popper, however, rejected ethnonationalism. To hedge against it, they ignored the claims of ethnocultural communities. This essay will highlight Agassi’s liberal theory of the nation state but urge that we overcome Critical (...)

  4. Popper’s Sociology of Science and Its Political Deficit.Ian Jarvie+ - 2023 - Journal of Philosophical Investigations 17 (42):168-187.
    The paper offers a distinctive reading of Popper’s work, suggesting that his Logic of Scientific Discovery (LScD) might be re-interpreted in the light of his Open Society. Indeed, Popper can be interpreted as criticising certain aspects of his first book, and as a result improving upon them, in his second. It suggests translating what Popper says about ‘conventions’ into his later vocabulary of ‘social institutions’. Looking back, I believe that Popper never intended the language of conventions and decisions to be (...)

  6. The Critique of Social Reason in the Popper-Adorno Debate.Iaan Reynolds - 2023 - History of the Human Sciences 36 (3-4):260-282.
    This paper examines the differences and affinities between Karl Popper’s critical rationalism and Theodor Adorno’s critical theory through renewed attention to the original documents of their 1961 debate. While commentaries often describe the Popper-Adorno encounter as a theoretical disappointment, I reveal a confrontation between conceptually opposed programs of social research. Though both theorists are committed to critique as a political and epistemological struggle for human freedom, their conceptions of this struggle are starkly different. In the original seminar papers, we find (...)

  7. The Sociologist of Knowledge in the Positivism Dispute.Iaan Reynolds - 2023 - Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory 24 (1):133-155.
    This paper studies the conflict between critical rationalism and critical theory in Karl Popper and Theodor Adorno’s 1961 debate by analyzing their shared rejection of Karl Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge. Despite the divergences in their respective projects of critical social research, Popper and Adorno agree that Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge is uncritical. By investigating their respective assessments of this research program I reveal a deeper similarity between critical rationalism and critical theory. Though both agree on the importance of critique, they (...)

    The term Open Society was rigorously presented by Bergson in Les Deux Sources de la morale et de la religion (1932), but it was Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945) that made the expression famous. It was under the influence of this last approach and not Bergson's that the term came to be used practically as a synonym for democracy or a scientific, rational, free, tolerant, inclusive, pluralist and humanist social order. The term has come to encompass (...)

  9. New Developments in the Theory of the Historical Process: Polish Contributions to Non-Marxian Historical Materialism.Krzysztof Brzechczyn (ed.) - 2022 - Leiden/Boston: Brill.
    The first part of this book contains a selection of Leszek Nowak’s (1943-2009) works on non-Marxian historical materialism, which are published here in English for the first time. In these papers, Nowak constructs a dynamic model of religious community, reconstructs historiosophical assumptions of liberalism and considers the methodological status of prognosis of totalitarization of capitalist society. In the second part of the book, new contributions to non-Marxian historical materialism are presented. Their authors analyze mechanisms of the oligarchization of liberal democracy, (...)

    I agree with Karl Popper that piecemeal engineering is a requirement for peer review, social learning and social transformation. While piecemeal engineering is intended primarily to detect social problems, and assess the results of public policies with the aim of solving them in bits and pieces, in this paper, I defend a modified view of Popper’s thesis. I argue the position that social reforms often require “many pieces at once” social engineering. The justification of this modified Popperian thesis on piecemeal (...)

    In his Open Society and Its Enemies, Popper defends the enlightenment values of individual freedom against any form of totalitarianism. Popper likens totalitarianism with collectivism. Collectivism denotes a society that is static and intellectually stagnated. In Popper’s view, “tribal” societies approximate this condition. Popper avers that collectivism is apt only of “tribal” “closed” intellectually stagnated societies, and not apt of an open society. However, a tribal closed society that Popper proclaimed are of two significantly distinct connotations: tribe and tribal. The (...)

    Popper emphasizes that one makes her problem very clear in research. Following Popper, allow me to state clearly my problem – the skepticism tied to the application of his principle of toleration within the Nigerian space. Hence, I will argue within the pages of this article that to adopt Popper’s discourse on toleration to its logical conclusion for resolving the regional crises in Nigeria, will lead to chaos and anarchy rather than peace and mutual coexistence.

Springer. pp. 109-116.
    Popper provided an account of the values and institutions needed to sustain an open society in the contemporary world. He defended modern liberal democracies as open societies, the best of all political frameworks for human organization. For him, a government is judged democratic by the degree of adequacy allowed for the expression of the will of the people and their involvement in decision making. Every democracy depends on the will of the majority and in Africa, the youth are the majority. (...)

    At the core of his liberal politics, Karl Popper rejected the idea of nationalism on the premise that it possesses a potential for totalitarianism. His rejection of the idea was based on his conviction that people can be united to declare an autonomous single national political and cultural identity. According to Popper, the principle of national self-determination often degenerates into ethnic terrorism because it lacks what Popper refers to as scientific objectivity. Although what Popper was opposed to was the establishment (...)

    It is a truism that African states emerged from the ashes of colonialism. This historical circumstance has always compelled the inherited states of Africa to act in such a manner that can neither create an “open society” nor guarantee freedom in the Popperian conception. Indeed, Popper argues that ‘nobody should be at mercy of others, but all should have the right to be protected by the state and that these ideas should be extended to the economic realm’. He insists that (...)

    One of the possible ways of conceptualising the overwhelming challenges now facing the countries of the African continent is to say that the people of Africa cope with the condition of subalternity. By subalternity, I understand as an inability to direct one’s own fate and to shape the structures of one own society. In this paper, I pose the question, to what extent does the intellectual resources capable of meeting this challenge be found in Karl Popper’s philosophy? In order to (...)

    Economic poverty remains an endemic problem that has persistently befallen most developing countries of Africa. This has resulted into decadences in the social, cultural, moral, political, intellectual, religious and economic aspects of African people. African societies are largely underdeveloped, due to poverty and corruption. Intellectual openness is lacking in most African countries. By intellectual openness, one depicts openness to new possibilities. Karl Popper’s advocacy for openness of society, critical approach, democracy as a framework, piecemeal engineering, detest for blueprints are essential (...)

    The political thought of both Popper and Oakeshott are embodied in how each criticizes rationalist politics. There are two fundamental crises in rationalist politics: The utopianism of seeking perfect ideals and the technical politics of abridging political practices into social engineering. Popper holds a view of “critical rationalism” to recall rational critique to rescue rationalism, then puts forwards a project called “Piecemeal Social Engineering.” Oakeshott takes a view of “intimation in tradition,” and then presents a project named “Civil Association.” Both (...)

    Four factors have been generally adduced for faith-based violence, extremism and terrorism. The first factor stems from dearth in the recognition of the Other. The second reason which is not too far from the first is informed by campaigns of hatred and blackmail. The third is connected to the lack of a genuine understanding of the Other’s beliefs and values, when the fourth is extremism and intolerance. These factors present themselves even when faith has served some positive and veritable ends (...)

    One fundamental challenge that most post-colonial African states have to grapple with is how to contain the pull of centrifugal forces emanating from the ethno-cultural diversity that characterized these states, and how to evolve a state–wide national identity from the mélange of ethno-cultural groupings which presently constitute them. Unfortunately, efforts in this direction have yielded little results: many African states are plagued by political instability, ethnic conflict and, in some cases civil wars, demonstrating that these national societies remain deeply divided (...)

    The extent of Africa’s developmental challenges conspicuously manifests themselves in the poor living standards of most of its people. Poverty, low literacy and life expectancy rate, hunger and poor sanitary environment are some of the features that characterize life in a region widely acclaimed as most backward in the world today.

    The resurgence of nationalist sentiments, from the United States to Europe as well as Africa has fuelled rising political divisions, the drift towards insularity and many other manifestations that threaten cohesion between and within different states across the world. Unsurprisingly, this has led to a renewed scholarly engagement of the concept of nationalism with a view to gaining new understandings as well as thinking through how best its fallouts are to be managed.

    Karl Popper believes that anti-nationalist posture enhances societal peace and harmony. He is therefore averse to tribalism most especially in a modern plural society. To Popper, nationalism is borne out of a closed tribal mentality and a belief in the supremacy of one’s tribe over every other tribe. Tribalism presupposes exclusiveness, solidarity, affinity, affiliation and nationalism. Such a mentality is the integrating factor that unites ethnic groups. This mentality can be noticed in many modern African societies which seems to have (...)

To gain a greater appreciation of Popper’s scientific arguments, they need to be viewed in relation to his broader philosophy and where this stands within the history of ideas.

In this article, I first argue that, on a political level, it is necessary to establish and maintain an open society by fostering not only five core values, viz. freedom, tolerance, respect, rationalism, and equalitarianism, but also three crucial practices, viz. democracy, state interventionism, and piecemeal social engineering. Then, considering that an open society places great political, and thus (...)

    This paper re-contextualizes Karl Popper's thought within the anti-nationalist cosmopolitan tradition of the Central European intelligentsia. It argues that, although Popper was brought up in an assimilated Jewish Viennese household, from the perspective of the Jewish Enlightenment or Haskalah tradition, he can be seen to be a modern day heterodox Maskil (scholar). Popper's ever present fear of anti-Semitism and his refusal to see Judaism as compatible with cosmopolitanism raise important questions as to the realisable limits of the cosmopolitan ideal.

  43. Epistemología, ética y política según Karl Popper.Mauro Cardoso Simões - 2009 - Enfoques 21 (2):5-14.
    El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la visión popperiana de la discusión crítica que, en última instancia, es responsable por la creación de conjeturas osadas, tanto en el campo epistemológico, como en el campo político y social. Presentaremos el presupuesto falibilista de nuestras aleg..

  45. Tradition in a Free Society: The Fideism of Michael Polanyi and the Rationalism of Karl Popper.Struan Jacobs - 2009 - Tradition and Discovery 36 (2):8-25.
    Michael Polanyi and Karl Popper offer contrasting accounts of social tradition. Popper is steeped in the heritage of the Enlightenment, while Polanyi interweaves religious and diverse secular strands of thought. Explaining the liberal tradition, Polanyi features tacit knowledge of rules, standards, applications and interpretations being transmitted by “craftsmen” to “apprentices.” Each generation adopts the liberal tradition on “faith,” commits to creatively developing its art of knowledge-in-practice, and is drawn to the spiritual reality of ideal ends. Of particular interest to Popper (...)

    In this chapter, I argue that Karl Popper was a communitarian philosopher. This will surprise some readers. Liberals often tout Popper as one of their champions. Indeed, there is no doubt that Popper shared much in common with liberals. However, I will argue that Popper rejected a central, though perhaps not essential, pillar of liberal theory, namely, individualism. This claim may seem to contradict Popper's professed methodological individualism. Yet I argue that Popper was a methodological individualist in name only. In (...)

  49. The Principles of Open Society and Ideals of Buddhist Civilization.Sergey Yu Lepekhov - 2008 - Proceedings of the Xxii World Congress of Philosophy 8:163-171.
    According to Popper, democracy, and the one of the western type at that, is the best form of the state system which makes open society possible. At the same time, democratic traditions and institutions have been historically developing not only in the West but also in the East. A number of crucial principles of Buddhistcivilization forming throughout the millennium appear to be quite corresponding to the model of open society. The principles of universal humanism and compassion as the staple of (...)
