Liberty is a revised and expanded edition of the book that Isaiah Berlin regarded as his most important—Four Essays on Liberty, a standard text of liberalism, constantly in demand and constantly discussed since it was first published in 1969. Writing in Harper's, Irving Howe described it as "an exhilarating performance—this, one tells oneself, is what the life of the mind can be."
Berlin's editor Henry Hardy has revised the text, incorporating a fifth essay that Berlin himself had wanted to include. He has also added further pieces that bear on the same topic, so that Berlin's principal statements on liberty are at last available together in one volume. Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism. These additions help us to grasp the nature of Berlin's "inner citadel," as he called it—the core of personal conviction from which some of his most influential writing sprung.
##书果然得多读几遍。其实很多话都是重复,就是把一句话换一种方式再说一遍,不过这样对读者很友好。伯林的论述中有个有意思的问题:自然科学方法论与形而上学看起来是对手,然而就这么联手了~
评分##PT 101
评分##四年前读过Two Concepts of Liberty,伯林也在不知不觉中影响着我的很多思考方式。那时觉得他尤为抽丝剥茧绵密通透——现在我保留这个判断,只是难免对方阵营就层层归谬到死讽刺挖苦到透,自己立场就是好一朵美丽的白莲花,又香又白人人夸。。。
评分##伯林是个思想史的好老师,是少有的会像演讲稿一样安排内容的思想史作者,总是清晰地告诉读者他要讨论的是什么问题。最爱的一篇是The Birth of Greek Individualism. 前面的编辑手记一定要读,非常赞!
评分##其实 Berlin 说,Two Concepts 那篇文章,主要是历史性的辨析,而非哲学性的辨析。

评分##与译林内容一致。除了删改字词

评分##中英一起看的。读完了,大受启发大受震撼,把自由的概念啊,形成啊,政体啊分析地好清楚啊!虽然有一些部分还可能不是很懂。读完挺佩服John Mill的????摘一句不错的话:“to realize the relative validity of one‘s conviction’s and stand for them unflinchingly is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian.”
