具體描述
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 Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism.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.
用戶評價
##初讀會受益於伯林的強梳理能力，讓對自由的討論有起點可尋。但因為始終沒有給齣清晰哪怕很薄的界定，使得內部諸多不一緻。如果采取“同情式”的理解，可能要迴到他當時要揭示的價值多元論命題，當然這又是一個棘手的問題。
評分##隻讀瞭其中的“兩種自由”一篇。前麵的梳理雖然dense，但是條理清晰，且有效地展開瞭兩者間的張力，很厲害。就是最後強調negative liberty，並且認為這會促成文化多元，這樣的論點和論述過程讓我多少有些不敢恭維。其實關鍵還在於Berlin當時心裏要解決的問題。

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##其實 Berlin 說，Two Concepts 那篇文章，主要是曆史性的辨析，而非哲學性的辨析。
評分##與譯林內容一緻。除瞭刪改字詞
評分##Practical Philanthropy
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。
