About The Poverty of Historicism
“Probably the only book published this year which will outlive the century” – ARTHUR KOESTLER Karl Popper’s THE POVERTY OF HISTORICISM is one of the most important books on the social sciences to have appeared since the Second World War. It is also the work of one of the most original thinkers of the twentieth-century, and a devastating criticism of the idea that there are laws of development in history and that human beings are able to discover them. Popper dedicated the book to all those who fell victim to the fascist and communist belief in Inexorable Laws of Historical Destiny. Short and lucidly written, it has inspired generations of philosophers, historians, politicians and others, and remains one of the best books for gaining an insight into the ideas of this great thinker. Karl Popper (1902-94). Philosopher, born in Vienna. One of the most influential and controversial thinkers of the twentieth-century.
