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 Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism.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.
##中英一起看的。讀完瞭,大受啓發大受震撼,把自由的概念啊,形成啊,政體啊分析地好清楚啊!雖然有一些部分還可能不是很懂。讀完挺佩服John Mill的????摘一句不錯的話:“to realize the relative validity of one‘s conviction’s and stand for them unflinchingly is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian.”

評分##四年前讀過Two Concepts of Liberty,伯林也在不知不覺中影響著我的很多思考方式。那時覺得他尤為抽絲剝繭綿密通透——現在我保留這個判斷,隻是難免對方陣營就層層歸謬到死諷刺挖苦到透,自己立場就是好一朵美麗的白蓮花,又香又白人人誇。。。

評分##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.
評分##按柏林,古希臘的個人主義顯於公元前4-3世紀拐角。但是令人睏惑的問題是,從柏拉圖到芝諾等人的轉變過程中,到底發生瞭什麼。雖然柏林討論著古希臘個人主義,但他引用的卻是羅斯托夫采夫等人,而非古朗士與格羅茲。後者從城邦內部社會生活的變化中,討論瞭個人主義是如何在城邦興起的。至於結尾以貴族抱怨城邦生活為例,實際上有些不適閤。雅典內部紛爭是從梭倫時期就一直蟄伏著,而公元前5世紀下葉以降的戰爭,損耗的正是富裕階層。日益趨平化的社會圖景,對於往昔富裕者而言,如若無法通過政治獲取權力與聲望,那麼以巧妙的方式迴歸自我,似乎是很直接的選擇。
