Friday, May 27th, we invite you to a discussion about the CADI opportunity and open society dezirabilitatea, starting from the text's Willmoore Kendall, "The ' Open Society ' and Its Fallacies".

Intro
"Nobody wants the Suppression of freedom of thought or a closed society; and no one to claim that others want something. Because the real question is: how open can be a corporation, so as to remain open? Or, in other words, is there any recipe to get safer, willy nilly, in spite of our initial intentions, the closed society, than that which is present in oral argument for open society? "

It is possible the company of John Stuart Mill theorised and, subsequently, by Karl r. Popper (which he also christened the "open society")? And, assuming that it is possible, is dezirabila? Willmoore Kendall responds negatively to both questions. Starting from the formulation of the classical ideal society opened by Mill in about freedom ("it should be the most complete freedom to practise and debate, as a conviction, any doctrine of ethics, no matter how unscrupulous they could be considered") and from the argument offered in favor of the ideal (nobody is infallible and the Suppression of minority views make looking for truth) , Kendall argues against his Mill as the company is not a debate dedicated to the search of truth, and that human nature does not allow peaceful cohabitation of people whose views are in conflict. If you would still call the coercive means to build an open society desired Mill and Popper, it would inevitably degenerate into the closed society which, theoretically, is the opposite.
