The "Roots of Romanticism" at last makes available in printed form Isaiah Berlin's most celebrated lecture series, the Mellon lectures, delivered in Washington in 1965, recorded by the BBC, and broadcast several times. A published version has been keenly awaited ever since the lectures were given, and Berlin had always hoped to complete a book based on them. But despite extensive further work this hope was not fulfilled, and the present volume is an edited transcript of his spoken words. For Berlin, the Romantics set in motion a vast, unparalleled revolution in humanity's view of itself. They destroyed the traditional notions of objective truth and validity in ethics with incalculable, all-pervasive results. As he said of the Romantics elsewhere: "The world has never been the same since, and our politics and morals have been deeply transformed by them. Certainly this has been the most radical, and indeed dramatic, not to say terrifying, change in men's outlook in modern times." In these brilliant lectures Berlin surveys the myriad attempts to define Romanticism, distills its essence, traces its developments from its first stirrings to its apotheosis, and shows how its lasting legacy permeates our own outlook. Combining the freshness and immediacy of the spoken word with Berlin's inimitable eloquence and wit, the lectures range over a cast of the greatest thinkers and artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including Kant, Rousseau, Diderot, Schiller, Schlegel, Novalis, Goethe, Blake, Byron, and Beethoven.Berlin argues that the ideas and attitudes held by these and other figures helped to shape twentieth-century nationalism, existentialism, democracy, totalitarianism, and our ideas about heroic individuals, individual self-fulfillment, and the exalted place of art. This is the record of an intellectual bravura performance - of one of the century's most influential philosophers dissecting and assessing a movement that changed the course of history.

读后感

观念史之所以会与文学创作契合，很大程度上是得益于文学创作基于其时代背景所传达出来的“意识”或“精神”，任何活的“主义”都不会是先有教条式的条条框框然后再有人去为之舍身殉难。真正的主义，必将是扎根于时代的氛围，在时代所迸发出的精神气质中合流而出的一条精神线索...  

前几天读完伯林的《浪漫主义的根源》（译林出版社2008年1月第一版）后书就了一篇类似书评的小文《作为浪漫主义诗人的伯林》，文章说实话写的不怎么样，基本还属于传声筒的功能，但是这个文章的题目倒的确是我读完这本小书的强烈印象。伯林的书手中有不少，基本都是译林近些年出...  

Isaiah Berlin发现，浪漫主义是由这样一些德国人发起的： “一群不谙世故的人。他们穷困、羞怯，他们是书呆子，在社会上处境尴尬。他们很容易被冷落，不得不充当大人物的私人教师，他们总是充满了羞辱感和压抑感。”“一个受辱的群体，受法国大革命及普遍的革命运动的鼓舞，应...  

用户评价

太喜欢Berlin的文笔了，磅礴大气不摆架子，深入浅出且有全局眼光。这本书精读了半个月，虽然因琐事好几次中断阅读，但每次拿起它就觉得是一种享受。特别佩服Berlin剖析西方思想文化史的犀利眼光（没有任何陈词滥调），个人以为学术做到这程度才算有乐趣。

"it must remain a dream a fantasy an object of disappointment if you seek it..the essence and value of which is that it's strictly unfulfillable, if it were fulfilled it'd be worthless/Will, and man as an activity as something which cant be described because it's perpetually creating..there's no self there's only movement."多元的imperfect equilibrium
