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 Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism.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
##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##伯林是個思想史的好老師，是少有的會像演講稿一樣安排內容的思想史作者，總是清晰地告訴讀者他要討論的是什麼問題。最愛的一篇是The Birth of Greek Individualism. 前麵的編輯手記一定要讀，非常贊!
評分##PT 101
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##Practical Philanthropy
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##PT 101
評分##讀Berlin就仿佛是一個英國老紳士在你對麵，語調冷靜剋製，但藏不住厚重的情懷。自由四論。還是要相信一些使人生之為人的原則，不管遙不遙遠。
評分##與譯林內容一緻。除瞭刪改字詞
