From the first volume: "Bertrand Russell described this study, with its companion volume on Hegel & Marx, as a work of first-class importance which ought to be widely read for its masterly criticism of the enemies of democracy, ancient and modern.

"His (Popper's) attacks on Plato, while unorthodox, is in my opinion thoroughly justified. His analysis of Hegel is deadly. Marx is dissected with equal acumen, and given his due share of responsibility for modern misfortunes. The book is a vigorous and profound defence of democracy, timely, very interesting, and very well written".
