This is incorrect, from his early years at the Pedagogical Institute actively perused evolutionary linguistic owing to his supervisor Karl Bühler. While this may seem like a minor issue of expression, it basically undermines a core feature of Popper’s philosophy:

The origins of messianism in the French writings of Wronski are interesting. The difference now is that Poland has not been able to engage with Russia from a position as secure as today in a very long time, perhaps not since Napoleon. So it’s new terrain in many ways, which is fascinating.

I’d flip this. The real content of romanticism and messianism is anti-nationalistic. It may be interesting for Poland (and I say that as someone who lives in the Asian region) is if it claims these terms, and invalidates populist appropriations of them.

Yes agreed, I use the term messianism provocatively here of course.

Great find! Note that for a book on politics he refers to the logician Alfred Tarski more so than Marx. This text is way more complex than most appreciate.

The common joke referred to the “open society and its one enemy” given Popper’s reluctance to be criticised by his students.

Hi Piotrek, yes everyone is migrating. Facebook is not good for anything other than photo sharing and LinkedIn is fake. Any online bookseller or from the Brill webpage. But it’s quite expensive. Much of it is online free on google books or available from university libraries.
