Popper’s «Open Society» is not only an abstract construct, but&nbsp;also a system of values and ideals of modern European civilization, such as&nbsp;freedom, individualism, humanism, democracy. However, the foundation of this<br>system, the link between its elements, the relationship with modern politics,&nbsp;the prospects for&nbsp; implementation and many other important topics remain&nbsp;problematic to this day. The author analyzes one of the fundamental principles&nbsp;of «open society» – the principle of leadership and tries to demonstrate, that&nbsp;the answer to the question: «Who shall rule the state?» is important in at least&nbsp;two aspects. Firstly, this question&nbsp; can be reformulated in the spirit of fallibilism&nbsp;as the question: «Who shall not rule the state?». Secondly, the search for an&nbsp;answer to this question can be considered as a strategic problem of an «open&nbsp;society» related to the protection of its values.</p> ER -
