Sir Isaiah Berlin was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1909 and immigrated to England in 1921. Berlin's achievement as a historian and exponent of ideas earned him the Erasmus, Lippincott, and Agnelli Prizes. He also received the Jerusalem Prize for his lifelong defense of civil liberties. A Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, he was the author of ten other books. Sir Isaiah died in Oxford in November 1997.
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
Isaiah Berlin's The Sense of Reality contains an important body of previously unknown work by one of our century's leading historians of ideas, and one of the finest essayists writing in English. Eight of the nine pieces included here are published for the first time, and their range is characteristically wide: the subjects explored include realism in history; judgement in politics; the history of socialism; the nature and impact of Marxism; the radical cultural revolution instigated by the Romantics; Russian notions of artistic commitment; and the origins and practice of nationalism. The title essay, starting from the impossibility of historians being able to recreate a bygone epoch, is a superb centerpiece.

評分歐洲核心信仰的支柱是:美德即知識。 即認為行動和選擇問題的答案,以及價值是可以被發現的。隻有那些處於某個位置、知道相關數據和能夠正確地理解它們的人纔可以迴答問題。認為一個問題如果根本無法迴答就不是一個明智的問題。 但是浪漫主義運動削弱瞭,或者說是破壞瞭這個...

評分倒退迴某個時期與實現一種烏托邦同樣遙遠。倒退需要人們毀滅現有的並製造某個時期的事物,更難的是要讓人們像過去那樣思想,而過去是由更早的過去以一種不可抗的慣性和偶然促成的,這一點是人類無法模擬和創造的,刻意為之隻會不倫不類。而要實現烏托邦,我們隻要在現在這個基...
