• Resumen

  • Karl Popper was a staunch advocate of open societies, and a fierce critic of closed societies. Much of his rhetoric has now become part of the spirit of the age, part of an age whose drive is to replace societies based on ancient and traditional bonds and hierarchies, with new societies based on abstract conceptions of human rights and on freedom from biological and other historic ties and categories.
