Da sociedade aberta de Popper para a sociedade reflexiva

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the open society model based on the ideas and concept of an open society according to Popper, aiming to evolve into a reflexive society. The research involves analyzing democratic thinkers in connection with the ideas of democracy, cooperation, reflexivity, and social evolution using Popper's critical rationalism. Popper's discourse on the definition of democracy proposes the open society as a potential solution, yet poses a question about its endurance as a democratic framework. This analysis delves into the expansion of the debate as indicated by the liberal model of democracy, in order to demonstrate how modernity's reflexivity shapes the future of an open society, by defining Popper's perspective. The main goal is to develop the concept of a reflexive society as a foundation of support beyond the open society suggested by Popper, by surpassing itself in a reflexive process. Models of democracy and reflexivity are discussed in the research, with liberalism identified as the most conducive democratic setting for a reflexive society. The transition from an open society to a reflexive society is demonstrated through its emergence in social interactions within modern democratic societies, evolving through its reflexive process.
