The Method of Problems versus the Method of Topics
Confused students researching papers not knowing where they are going. Articles, lectures, and books on exciting topics that turn out to be boring. Such familiar phenomena are symptoms of a widespread, largely unconscious methodological habit of focusing on topics rather than problems. This habit rests on views about knowledge that are deeply ingrained in commonsense knowledge and in the methodology of mainstream social science. Such views satura…
Popper's social‐democratic politics and free‐market liberalism
Holding unlimited economic freedom to be nearly as dangerous as physical violence, Karl Popper advocated piecemeal economic intervention by the state. Jeremy Shearmur's recent book on Popper contends that as the philosopher aged, his views grew closer to classical liberalism than those expressed in The Open Society -- consistently with what Shearmur sees as the logic of Popper's arguments. But Popper's philosophy, while recognizing that any proje…
Blindspot of a Liberal Popper and the Problem of Community
Popper's critique of the philosophical doctrines underlying totalitarian ideology is powerful. Yet, having the regimes of Hitler and Stalin in full view before him, he did not give full and balanced consideration to the range of effects these doctrines can have within actually existing ideologies and regimes. The ideas he correlates with totalitarianism can and do exist in benign forms or tempered by other ideas and by institutions. Moreover, the…
Plato and K. R. Popper
A critical examination of Sir Karl Popper’s critique of Plato’s political philosophy in The Open Society and Its Enemies
Karl Popper, 1902–1994
Popper's philosophy of science represents a radical departure from almost all other views about knowledge. This helps account for serious misunderstandings of it among admirers no less than among adversaries. The view that knowledge has and needs no foundations is counter-intuitive and apparently relativistic. But Popper's fallibilism is in fact a far cry from anti-realism. Similarly, Popper's social and political philosophy, although seemingly c…
Ethical Problems of lmperfect Knowledge in the Policy Sciences
The breakdown of newspeak
Many attempts have been made to create Newspeaks. But in light of what is now known about such attempts, it is clear that not even the most successful of them have come anywhere near to realization of Orwell's projection. Rather than these Newspeaks becoming increasingly fine-tuned, comprehensive instruments of totalitarian control as suggested in 1984, quite an opposite development has taken place. The peoples upon whom Newspeaks have been impos…

Ethics and Economics
L'aspect radical et révolutionnaire de la théorie sociale et politique de Popper
This article argues that Popper's social and political theory is congenial to the planning and carrying out of fundamental and thoroughgoing reform of society guided and informed by rationally plausible and morally defensible theory. Popper's arguments for moderation in political action do not rest on or support any kind of idealization of either tradition or status quo, or even upon his dislike of violence, but rather upon the inherent limitatio…

The Two Faces of Czechoslovak Communism
Capitulation', 'Resistance' and the Framework of 'Normali-zation
The Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and the Czechoslovak response to it resulted in a political stalemate. Although the invasion was a military success, it was a political failure. A nearly unanimous response of Czechoslovakia's population, rulers, and institutions quickly took shape, rejecting the intervention and freezing authority along the lines of legitimacy prevailing before the invasion. This article shows how the outlines…
