"Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made." - Immanuel Kant. Isaiah Berlin was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century - an activist of the intellect who marshaled vast erudition and eloquence in defense of the endangered values of individual liberty and moral and political pluralism. In the "Crooked Timber of Humanity", he exposes the links between the ideas of the past and the social and political cataclysms of our present century: between the Platonic belief in absolute Truth and the lure of authoritarianism; between the eighteenth-century reactionary ideologue Joseph de Maistre and twentieth-century fascism; between the romanticism of Schiller and Byron and the militant - and sometimes genocidal - nationalism that convulses the modern world.
伯林的文风真的很迷人,雄辩滔滔,句式玩出花来。这本书是七篇文章合集,总体而言以18世纪启蒙理性到浪漫主义的思想巨变为中心,串起秩序和自由、个人和集体、理性和非理性力量在思想史上的来龙去脉,折射出它们在思想光谱上的此消彼长。最有价值的是Maistre与法西斯主义的起源那篇,反理性、反智的循环论证如何为极权与服从、牺牲辩护。第一、二、六篇对理解他说明什么是相对主义、自己为何不是相对主义而是多元主义,颇有帮助。第一篇在讨论ultimate solution时用了一个比喻:如果这个蛋饼真的“众善具备”,如此完美,那岂不是无论打破多少鸡蛋来做它都是值得的吗?从未这么强烈体会到at whatever cost是许多灾难与痛苦的起源。最后一篇单独谈了民族主义这条线索。其他部分没有超出《浪漫主义的根源》。
评分好久没看大大大大学者写的书了,博学到匪夷所思啊,而且文笔还那么好,每次看到这种书就会唤醒小的时候对学者无限膜拜的感情,同时觉得我还是回家开个小卖部得了。
