Reviews

Anyone interested in Popper's social and political thought--and its contemporary relevance--will find this an example of Popper's own advocacy of opoenness and testing. Highly recommended.... <br>- Choice <br> Karl Popper s visit to Prague in 1994 was both intellectually challenging and emotionally stirring. It is appropriate that it should be commemorated. <br>-George Soros <br>
