Open society
Open society: the Popperian ideal of political community subject to rational critique and revision.
Karl Popper formulated in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945) the most influential defense of 20th-century democratic liberalism: an open society is one whose institutions, decisions, and beliefs are permanently exposed to rational critique and the possibility of change, against closed societies governed by dogma. Revista Conciencia Democrática inscribes its principles in this tradition.
