The Poverty of Historicism
Author: Karl Popper
"The Poverty of Historicism" by Karl Popper is a critical examination of the methods and assumptions underlying historicism, the idea that history unfolds according to predetermined laws. Popper argues against the possibility of predicting historical events with scientific precision, advocating instead for a focus on piecemeal social engineering and the openness of society.
