Isaiah Berlin's celebrated radio lectures on six formative anti-liberal thinkers were delivered on the BBC's Third Programme in 1952. They are published here for the first time, fifty years on. Freedom and its Betrayal is one of Isaiah Berlin's earliest and most convincing expositions of his views on human freedom and the history of ideas, views which later found expression in such famous works as 'Two Concepts of Liberty', and were at the heart of his lifelong work on the Enlightenment and its critics. In his lucid examinations of sometimes difficult ideas Berlin demonstrates that a balanced understanding and a resilient defence of human liberty depend on learning both from the errors of freedom's alleged defenders and from the dark insights of its avowed antagonists. This book throws light on the early development of Berlin's ideas, and supplements his already published writings with fuller treatments of Helvetius, Rousseau, Fichte, Hegel and Saint-Simon, with the ultra-conservative traditionalist Maistre bringing up the rear. Freedom and its Betrayal shows Berlin at his liveliest and most torrentially spontaneous, testifying to his talents as a teacher of rare brilliance and impact. Listeners tuned in expectantly each week to the broadcasts and found themselves mesmerised by Berlin's astonishingly fluent extempore style. A leading historian of ideas, who was then a schoolboy, records that the lectures 'excited me so much that I sat, for every talk, on the floor beside the wireless, taking notes'. This excitement is at last recreated here for all to share.

读后感

在爱尔维修的描述里，自由如果包括可以随心所欲地行事，什么都可以做的自由，甚至能够选择毁坏我们自身的自由，假如我们愿意的话——那种自由逐渐被成功的教育铲除。 爱尔维修建立的一套功利主义思想体系，在世界最佳意志的武装之下，在最纯粹的动机的启发之下，实际上去反对不...  

20世纪50年代，以赛亚.柏林在BBC发表了关于自由主义哲学家的六篇评论演讲。即使在现在看来，这六篇演讲依然颇具启示意义，能够帮助我们廓清许多关于自由的迷思。特将一些重要观点罗记于下。由于尚未读完此书，本篇书摘将不断更新。 政治哲学的核心问题是“为什么任何人都要服从...

一 我注册豆瓣这么多年来，以前从未见过有豆友被禁言，没想到最近豆瓣的言论扫荡愈演愈烈，终于从删除言论，到对豆友人身进行暴力打击，铐上她们的嘴。如果我在此处写下“开历史倒车”五个字，豆瓣是否会认为“含有激进意识形态内容”，是否会“自己可见”、“禁言”？那我道歉...  

特别好的书，深入浅出生动易懂，让人看到何以“通往地狱的路由善意铺成”，绝对的自由如何转化成绝对的专制。 爱尔维修认为人类的目的在于更多的幸福，卢梭认为发自内心的“正确”是人类的目的之一，费希特将“个人自由”的纬度拓展到“集体”和“民族”，按照一国的“意...  

以赛亚柏林在这本书中掺杂了过多的私货，如果说它是一种思路的源头，那么或许它依然有某种价值所在，但对于今天，它的教益剩余多少，是值得怀疑的。 阿玛蒂亚森在《超越功利主义》中谈到了两种功利主义——个人的与集体的。而在一矛盾亦存在于自由之中。想想吧，想密尔几乎有着...

this is a central doctrine in Maistre: that rationalist notions do not work, if you really want to know why people behave as they do, you must seek the answer in the realm of the irrational, Berlin was interested in how the ideal of liberty so quickly turned into its opposite and how the greatest tyrant often started out as the greatest liberator。。
