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.

在爱尔维修的描述里,自由如果包括可以随心所欲地行事,什么都可以做的自由,甚至能够选择毁坏我们自身的自由,假如我们愿意的话——那种自由逐渐被成功的教育铲除。 爱尔维修建立的一套功利主义思想体系,在世界最佳意志的武装之下,在最纯粹的动机的启发之下,实际上去反对不...
评分伯林在《谈话录》里提到,相对于积极自由,他更认可消极自由。在《自由及其背叛》一书里,基本上就是对他所认同的消极自由给出论证和反例。伯林说,“自由的本质是什么?自由的本质从来就是,如你所愿地去选择的能力——你选择它,仅仅因为你自己想这么选,而不是因为有人强逼...
评分 评分那时候非常激进,天天想着革命,所以老师推荐我读这本书。 说实话,这本书写的什么我忘的差不多了,只模糊的记得几个人名字,卢梭、爱尔维修、圣西门。。。也算是丰富了一点哲学的基础知识。 大概说的是年轻人向往的自由民主社会极易演变成为专制,随着以后看了民主的细节以及...
评分以赛亚﹒伯林的《自由及其背叛》终于算是看完了,有些唏嘘,几百年来,令这些伟大的、聪明睿智的男人们念念不忘、纠结不已的“自由”,竟然是这样的复杂难奈、自相矛盾,或者说:剪不断、理还乱…… 男人们在自己的世界里寻找着自由,在与他人的关系中捍卫着自己感觉或者心目...
