Concept of an Open Society
An open society is a society based on the recognition that nobody has a monopoly on truth, that different people have different views and interests, and that there is a need for institutions to protect the rights of all people and to allow them to live together in peace. The term "open society" was popularized by the philosopher Karl Popper in his 1945 book Open Society and Its Enemies. Broadly speaking, an open society is characterized by a reliance on the rule of law, the existence of a democratically elected government, a diverse and vigorous civil society, and respect for minorities and minority opinions.
