Isaiah Berlin was, until his death in 1997, a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. He was renowned as an essayist and as the author of many books, among them "Karl Marx, Four Essays on Liberty, Russian Thinkers, The Sense of Reality, The Proper Study of Mankind," and from Princeton, "Concepts and Categories, Personal Impressions, The Crooked Timber of Humanity, The Roots of Romanticism, The Power of Ideas," and "Three Critics of the Enlightenment".
Henry Hardy, a Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, is one of Isaiah Berlin's literary trustees. He has edited several other volumes by Berlin, and is currently preparing Berlin's letters and remaining unpublished writings for publication.
"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.

公元1990,曆史的車輪仿佛驟然加快,全世界都帶著一種失重的快感,倏忽跨入20世紀的最後一個十年之期。各種新說舊論,競逐著辯難的話語之巔,並依據冷戰格局的急劇蛻變,尋找支撐各自內在理路得以延展的事實座標。以賽亞•伯林(Isaiah Berlin),這位可能是這個世紀最偉大思...
評分"Out of cross-grained/crooked timber of human nature nothing quite straight can be made." “理想的追求” 在某一刻,我意識到,所有這些觀念的共同之處是一個柏拉圖式的理念:首先,像在科學中一樣,所有真正的問題都應該有且隻有一個真正的答案,而其他的答案都必然是...
評分前言 又一本伯林的書。太喜歡這個作者瞭,遇見真是緣分……腦袋中許多模糊曖昧的想法,跟著他的思路都理清瞭。感覺又掌控瞭自己的腦殼(・・;) 不過在想是不是應該少看些這種暫時沒卵用的思想史觀念史啊? 觀念和思想太強烈反而寫不齣好故事。一些東西被解構瞭,生活和曆史...

烏托邦到極權主義,浪漫主義到國傢主義,扭麯的人性之材一不小心就會發展成為災難,中間一篇寫maistre的思想預示法西斯主義的是精華
評分chapter1 & 6
評分卓越的洞察力,驚人的現實感,真的好久沒讀過這樣激動人心的書瞭。沿著啓濛/反啓濛的綫索勾勒齣瞭烏托邦主義、浪漫主義、法西斯主義、民族主義的根基,講Maistre的一章篇幅最長,尤其精彩,最後一章將民族主義和當代西方青年運動類比起來,也洞見極深。
