Item description from seller

8vo. [6], vii-xiv, 1-166 pp. Black cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Price of 16s. net on the front flap of the dust jacket. Based on a paper of the same title first presented in 1936, the book is a critical examination of historicism, the view that there is a theory of historical development that would serve as a basis to foretell the future of human society. Popper considers varieties of historicism and their central tenets, and then develops a series of crititicisms of such views. A nice copy of one of Popper's best-known books. A student's inscription from the University of Alberta on the free front endpaper, some ink and color pencil underlining on several leaves; the jacket is quite attractive.
