摘要：ABSTRACT: Karl R. Popper is an important philosopher of science of 20th Century and is known in this field through his theory of falsification. But the critical theory of rationality is indeed his basic theory and it can be seen in his whole idea. Critique of historicism also contains his views on the social and political philosophy in a systematic context in relation to them. Popper embodied his views about the historicism through human-centered thoughts of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Marx and Hegel who are effective system builders and he raised a number of criticism against the holistic structures. We discuss in this article Popper's critique of historicism, especially his critics related with Plato, Aristotle, Hegel and Marx.SUMMARY: Karl R. Popper is a multifaceted philosopher renowned for his studies in the areas of philosophy, methodology and epistemology of science and philosophy of politics. Initially being among the philosophers of Vienna Circle, Popper diverges from the thinkers of the Circle in terms of the problems he dealt with. The problem handled by the philosophers of the Vienna Circle was to analyze the meaning of theories and to reveal their linguistic properties; this is because they thought that they could illuminate the scientific structure in this way. While still treating the problem of scientific meaning as a subject of research, Popper, on the other hand, deals with the development of scientific knowledge as the main problem.In addition to philosophy of science, another area that Popper focused on was the philosophy of politics. It is in a way the area where his thoughts about methodology were applied; the fact that he led a relatively long life and that in this life he experienced the First and Second World Wars is mentioned among the main reasons for his interest in the philosophy of politics. Popper attempts to relate the problems of the 20th Century with Aristotle and Plato by going back Marx and Hegel; he views these philosophers as the enemies of the “open society” that he himself uses at the same time. Viewing all totalitarian systems as adversaries of the open society, Popper discusses his thoughts on this issue in his works titled The Open Society and Its Enemies and Poverty of Historicism. The first one deals with interpretation of the results of totalitarian regimes by a person who experienced these events; the second one is a work which expresses philosophical ideas of a thinker that determined today’s problems of philosophy and which handles the problem of methodology in social and empirical sciences; this work also serves as the source for this article of ours titled Karl Popper’s Critique on Historicism and has been an important reference for us whilst discussing the subject especially in terms of methodology.Historicism and historicity are two different concept ... http://dergi.cumhuriyet.edu.tr/cumuilah/article/view/5000182989
