The Philosophy of Karl Popper
En Intellektuell Självbiografi
Poppers personliga skildring av sin filosofiska och vetenskapliga utveckling. Vi får följa hans liv från Wienkretsen till professuren vid London School of Economics. Biografin publicerades första gången i serien Library of Living Philosophers. I denna serie har 1900-talets mest kända filosofer blivit ingående analyserade och diskuterade. Volymerna inleds alltid med filosofens egen beskrivning av sin intellektuella utveckling. I volymen skriver Imre Lakatos: Poppers idéer står för den viktigaste utvecklingen i filosofin under det tjugonde århundradet; de ansluter till traditionen efter Hume, Kant eller Whewell och ligger på samma nivå som deras prestationer.

Det Öppna Samhället Och Dess Fiender
Det öppna samhället och dess fiender är en av 1900-talets viktigaste böcker - på samma gång en kraftfull kritik av de totalitära ideologiernas intellektuella ursprung och ett kompromisslöst försvar för de demokratiska institutionerna och det öppna samhället. Det öppna samhället har inte bara ett historiskt intresse - som en ovanligt djupgående exponering av 1900-talets dominerande totalitära läror -, den är fortfarande en högaktuell text i vår samtid. De intellektuella svagheter som Popper identifierade i de totalitära rörelsernas tankesystem har en förmåga att ständigt dyka upp på nytt, i nya tappningar och sammanhang. Detta är en efterlängtad och reviderad nyutgåva av Det öppna samhället och dess fiender, i översättning av Andrew Casson och Bo Ekström, med ett nyskrivet förord av Håkan Holmberg.
