Do the current social, moral, and political realities call for a drastic revision of this concept? Here fifteen essays address real-world contemporary challenges to open society from a variety of perspectives. What unites the individual authors and chapters is an interest in open society's continuing usefulness and relevance to address current problems. And what distinguishes them is a rich variety of geographical and cultural backgrounds, and a wide range of academic disciplines and traditions.While focusing on probing the contemporary relevance of the concept, several chapters approach it historically. The book features a comprehensive introduction to the history and current 'uses' of the theory of open society. The authors link the concept to contemporary themes including education, Artificial Intelligence, cognitive science, African cosmology, colonialism, and feminism. The diversity of viewpoints in the analysis reflects a commitment to plurality that is at the heart of this book and of the idea of open society itself"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLiberalism 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aUniversalism 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aOpen society. 610 $acontemporary relevance. 610 $adiversity and plurality. 610 $ageographically and intellectually global. 610 $atheory and practice. 615 0$aLiberalism. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aUniversalism. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a300.1 686 $aSOC000000$aPHI005000$2bisacsh 700 $aMatei$b Liviu$01346924 701 $aRoyer$b Christof$01225083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a996534565903316 996 $aOpen Society Unresolved$93081182 997 $aUNISA
