520 _aKarl Popper is widely regarded as the twentieth century's greatest critic of Marxism. This article, based upon his 1942-47 correspondence with Dudolf Carnap, shows that Popper's critique of scientific socialism had less to do with Marx's social goals than with the attitudes that Marxists adopted toward their means of achieving them. It also reveals how Carnap, who tried to keep his politics separate from his epistemology, managed to mix the two when refusing to give Popper his wholehearted support in finding both a publisher for The Open Society and its Enemies and a position that would give him greater opportunities for research. - Reproduced
