[EAN: 9780415610230], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 4.0], [PU: London and New York: Routledge], XXXIV, 493 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband berieben und bestoßen, Fußschnitt leicht angeschmutzt, sonst guter Zustand / binding rubbed and scuffed, bottom edge slightly soiled, otherwise good condition. - After The Open Society: Selected Social and Political Writings contains Karl Popper's most important political writings, from shortly after the publication of The Open Society and Its Enemies until his death in 1994. Published in paperback for the first time, it is a superb picture of Popper’s political and philosophical thought during and after the Second World War, from his early socialism through to his radical humanitarianism. The essays in this collection demonstrate the clarity and pertinence of Popper's thinking not only on themes which characterize his work as a whole, such as the nature of political freedom, history, and Plato and Aristotle, but subjects which reveal Popper’s unwavering political commitment such as antisemitism, the role of the media and the Cold War. After The Open Society illuminates the thought of one of the twentieth-century’s greatest philosophers and is essential reading for anyone interested in the recent course of philosophy, politics, history and society. / Contents EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS popper’s BOOKS PARTI INTRODUCTION Optimist, pessimist and pragmatist views of scientific knowledge (1963) PART II MEMORIES OF AUSTRIA 1 Julius Kraft, 1898-1960 (1962) 2 Memories of Otto Neurath (1973) 3 Preface to Fritz Kolb, Es kam ganz anders (It all turned out very differently) (1981) 4 Anti-semitism in Austria: a letter to Friedrich Hayek (1969) PART III LECTURES FROM NEW ZEALAND 5 Science and religion (1940); appendix: Karl Popper on God: interview with Edward Zerin (1969/1998) 6 Ideal and reality in society (1940) 7 Moral man and immoral society (1940) 8 Is there a meaning in history?
