KARL POPPER »THE POVERTY OF HISTORICISM»

Routledge 2002 nid.,  156 s., kohtalaisen siisti pokkari, selkä ei taittunut, joitakin merkintöjä on ollut lyijykynällä. Ne on pyyhitty pois, mutta johonkin on saattanut jäädä. Kuitenkin siisti, takakannessa vanha hintalappu.

The Poverty of Historicism is a 1944 book by the philosopher Karl Popper (revised in 1957), in which the author argues that the idea of historicism is dangerous and bankrupt.

The Poverty of Historicism was first written as a paper which was read in 1936, then updated and published as a book in 1957.[1]:?III? It was dedicated “In memory of the countless men and women of all creeds or nations or races who fell victim to the fascist and communist belief in Inexorable Laws of Historical Destiny.” The title is a reference to Marx's book "The Poverty of Philosophy", itself a reference to Proudhon's book "The Philosophy of Poverty".
