The concept of open society has its origins in the now classical philosophical literature of the 20th century and the work of Henri Bergson and Karl Popper, which sparked active debate and regular followers in their time. Open society is the cornerstone of George Soros’s philosophy and philanthropy. It is also a core value of OSUN’s mission.

Our Work

The concept of open society has moved to the margins in public debate, academia, and policy literature in recent years. The Open Society Research Platform seeks to revitalize the debate on open society—making it vibrant, rigorous, nuanced, and relevant to challenges of the day, while endowing it with a robust and refined epistemological, theoretical, and methodological utility. The Open Society Research Platform aspires to support interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scholarly research and debate on open society. The project’s ambition is to contribute to the conceptual underpinnings of open society and a body of scholarship that has the potential to advance both academic and public debate about open society and its value and limitations as an intellectual and policy tool.
