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 Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism.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.
##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##Practical Philanthropy
评分##Although Sir Isaiah Berlin has shown his apparent indifference to values in history, such as freedom and justice, and holds a superficial attitude towards values' conflict, still he displays the outstanding taste of a Classic liberalist——a writing style of prudent and fluent, and most important, explicit sightseeing and distinction.
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.”
评分##2006年写毕业论文竟然参考过,估计是纯粹装逼,八成都没读吧
评分##從南校運過來的書。導修前重讀two concepts of liberty
评分##因为哲学课读的书越来越看不懂/不感兴趣了所以我决定每本下面编些不相干的胡话,整理的时候就感觉好像自己真有收获一样。水手需要预测暴风雨的时候,会跑到甲板上用鼻子吸一吸,再不济就伸舌头尝一尝,吉兆是仍然咸涩的海风,凶兆是坏血病梦境般温柔甜蜜的鲜橙味。
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##读Berlin就仿佛是一个英国老绅士在你对面,语调冷静克制,但藏不住厚重的情怀。自由四论。还是要相信一些使人生之为人的原则,不管遥不遥远。
