"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.
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 He has edited several other volumes by Berlin, and is currently preparing Berlin's letters and remaining unpublished writings for publication.
轻松阅读的后果是一直很开心。伯林真让人开心。 伯林大概是著名拖延症。我读过所有的他的书里,编者都在抱怨这本书拖了多少年,要发表的时候伯林又要改,一改又是多少年。他好像没有项目管理概念,笔记乱七八糟,把作业拿回去一扔就不看了,所以有个机智的编者在《自由及其敌人...
评分PS:很久以前写的,在看《扭曲的人性之材》的时候写的,现在想把它放到空间里,和有兴趣的盆友一起讨论。 乌托邦:一个处于纯粹和谐状态的世界,那里所有的成员都和平相处,彼此相爱,免于皮肉之苦,远离任何欲望,也不用担心受怕,没有低贱的劳作,没有妒忌和失落,不会受到不...
评分“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...
评分公元1990,历史的车轮仿佛骤然加快,全世界都带着一种失重的快感,倏忽跨入20世纪的最后一个十年之期。各种新说旧论,竞逐着辩难的话语之巅,并依据冷战格局的急剧蜕变,寻找支撑各自内在理路得以延展的事实座标。以赛亚•伯林(Isaiah Berlin),这位可能是这个世纪最伟大思...
评分摘自《法制日报》 作者:李海默 肖澜 康德说:“人性这根曲木,绝然造不出任何笔直的东西”……历史与现实共有的那一巨大的吊诡阴影:由于人性的曲木性质, 我们不能依照一个标准范式的蓝图来塑造人类社会,哪怕蓝图宣称已调和了各种的善的多元性,并因而具有能够改造...
乌托邦到极权主义,浪漫主义到国家主义,扭曲的人性之材一不小心就会发展成为灾难,中间一篇写maistre的思想预示法西斯主义的是精华

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。
