具体描述
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 Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism.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.
用户评价
##初读会受益于伯林的强梳理能力，让对自由的讨论有起点可寻。但因为始终没有给出清晰哪怕很薄的界定，使得内部诸多不一致。如果采取“同情式”的理解，可能要回到他当时要揭示的价值多元论命题，当然这又是一个棘手的问题。
评分##Practical Philanthropy
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。
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##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##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~
