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 He has edited several other volumes by Berlin, and is currently preparing Berlin's letters and remaining unpublished writings for publication.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.
“怎么能够让所有人都接受这样一种苍白,幽暗,死气沉沉的状态,缺乏色彩,了无生气,没有艺术,也不够人性。对那些秉持歌德这种带有浪漫主义色彩的个人主义而言,重要的不是共同基础,而是差异......” “理想自身呈现出一种绝对律令(a categorical imperative)的形式:要遵...

评分伯林这本思想史著作,其实是几个互不关联的演讲稿的整合,但是说互不关联是说外在的形式,而内里的思想却是一脉相承。 简单的说,此书将近代以来(其实我觉得甚至可以说是自古以来)人类对于真理与正义的追索的一次梳理和分析,这些追寻无疑有不同的派别循不同的轨迹,而且在...

伯林的文风真的很迷人,雄辩滔滔,句式玩出花来。这本书是七篇文章合集,总体而言以18世纪启蒙理性到浪漫主义的思想巨变为中心,串起秩序和自由、个人和集体、理性和非理性力量在思想史上的来龙去脉,折射出它们在思想光谱上的此消彼长。最有价值的是Maistre与法西斯主义的起源那篇,反理性、反智的循环论证如何为极权与服从、牺牲辩护。第一、二、六篇对理解他说明什么是相对主义、自己为何不是相对主义而是多元主义,颇有帮助。第一篇在讨论ultimate solution时用了一个比喻:如果这个蛋饼真的“众善具备”,如此完美,那岂不是无论打破多少鸡蛋来做它都是值得的吗?从未这么强烈体会到at whatever cost是许多灾难与痛苦的起源。最后一篇单独谈了民族主义这条线索。其他部分没有超出《浪漫主义的根源》。
评分卓越的洞察力,惊人的现实感,真的好久没读过这样激动人心的书了。沿着启蒙/反启蒙的线索勾勒出了乌托邦主义、浪漫主义、法西斯主义、民族主义的根基,讲Maistre的一章篇幅最长,尤其精彩,最后一章将民族主义和当代西方青年运动类比起来,也洞见极深。
