具体描述
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
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...
评分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...
评分 评分当时，邱晓林老师介绍这本书给我的时候，是因讲述卢梭而起。他说，这本书是他读到的目前关于卢梭的评述中对其自由思想阐述的最恰当最精彩的。 由于是以赛亚·柏林在BBC的讲演，所以可能没那么多拦路的哲学术语，但是我仍然觉得这本书的思路缜密，一路下来火花迸放，很...

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。。
