The Open Society and its Enemies, by Karl Popper - 1945 First Edition, 2 Vols.
A very rare first edition set of The Open Society and Its Enemies, Karl Popper’s first major work and his most influential defence of liberal democracy.
In The Open Society and Its Enemies, Popper presents a critical analysis and defence of democracy and open societies against totalitarian ideologies. Popper critiques the philosophical underpinnings of theories by Plato, Hegel, and Marx, arguing for a society that prioritises critical thinking, individual freedoms, and a scientific approach to social issues, in a work that has been fundamentally in the history of modern political and social thought.
This is a true first edition set, presented in two volumes, from 1945. The books are fine, bright and clean. The dust jackets have some paper loss and tears to book one, but are otherwise very good.
