Karl Popper
This chapter addresses the question of how Karl Popper’s critical rationalism has contributed to his idea of the open society. To this end, the chapter begins with a brief review of the critical rationalism and how it is used by Popper to show the intellectual roots of the rise of the closed societies and its outcomes for the idea of the open society. The chapter explores the reasons why Popper’s definition of critical rationalism, in terms of “a…
The Open Society
Inspired by the critical rationalist theory of human action, this chapter presents a sociological conception of the open society. To this end, it offers three arguments: (a) an explanation of how the critical rationalist model of action leads to defining the problem of open social order, (b) an application of the proposed micro-foundation for injecting “a social meaning” to the idea of an open society and (c) a differentiation of the sociological…
The Formation of an Open Society
With the sociological idea of the open society at hand, this chapter applies the critical-rationalist model of human action in order to address the question of how the open society comes into existence. To this end, it argues that the highest level of critical rationality enables human actors, including thinkers, movements and masses, to enter into “a moral dialogue” for giving themselves “a shard conception” of the good life, and building upon s…
Towards a Micro-Foundation for the Sociology of the Open Society
A sociological theory of the open society requires a micro-foundation which shows how reason drives action. Since this volume aims to address the relation between the philosophy of critical rationalism and the sociology of the open society, I want to show that the questions of how reason operates and drives action ought to be addressed by “a model of rational action” which uses the conception of rationality as “openness to criticism”. However, si…
From the Closed to the Open Society
The subject of enquiry in this chapter is the transition from the closed to the open society. To offer a sociological analysis of this transition, the chapter begins with the critical rationalist model of human action to show how human actors’ critical rationality enables them to shape the cultural, legal–political and economic mechanisms of the transition from the closed to the open society. The chapter integrates these mechanisms into a normati…
From the Closed to the Open Society
This chapter focuses on the question of why Popper has not offered “an accurate analysis” of the transition from the closed to the open society, connecting this failure with his model of human action. In this line of reasoning, the chapter argues that the definition of critical rationalism, in terms of “an irrational” faith in reason, is the major cause of an under – theorization of the role of critical rationality in Popper’s model of action. To…
The Sociology of the Open Society
This chapter summarizes the major findings of the second volume, arguing that how the general theory of critical rationalism has contributed to the formation of a new micro-foundation, on the basis of which not only can we develop new sociologies of the closed and open societies, but also we would be able to offer “a normative sociological analysis” of the transition from the closed to the open society. To this end, it first argues how a reinvent…
The Formation of a Closed Society
This chapter applies the critical rationalist model of action to formulate a sociology of the closed society in order to address the question of how the closed society comes into existence. It explores the relation between the low level of critical rationality and the idea of the closed society, arguing that when people use this level of rationality, they create a set of moral values and social institutions, which originate in the dogmatic belief…
Towards a Sociology of the Open Society
This book applies the general theory of critical rationalism in order to develop a new sociology of the open society, in general, and a new analysis of the transition from a closed society to an open society in particular. It presents a criticism of Karl Popper’s analysis of human action for opening up a closed society, followed by a critical study of the mainstream sociology to show how justificational models of knowledge and rational action hav…

Critical Rationalism and Globalization
Critical Rationalism and Globalization addresses how the access to critical reason enables people to shape a new social order on a global scale. This book demonstrates how the philosophy of critical rationalism contributes to the sociology of Globalization, through uncovering the role of critical reason in arriving at an agreement on common values and institutions on a global scale. It discusses how value consensus on the institutions of sovereig…
