Karl Popper is a sleeping giant of the 20th century. The Logic of Scientific Discovery transformed the philosophy of science and is one of the classics of modern political philosophy. He combined the principles of social democracy and classical liberalism to resolve a number of issues which confuse and divide the friends of freedom.
The book is practically invisible in academia, and it has been kept in print by a lay readership. Conservatives were outraged by the critique of Plato and Aristotle. The left marginalized Popper because he predicted that the most likely outcome of violent revolutions would not be freedom but the rule of the Strong Man. This was too close to the truth for comfort.
The Open Society and Its Enemies is Karl Popper’s contribution to the allied war effort, written in New Zealand during the darkest days of World War II.

Her melodious voice and accent, which is a bit to define, keeps me engaged especially during those periods where the book becomes quite technical and a bit overwhelming.
Bravo!!!
Elyse Hargreaves gives a wonderful reading
