Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) was one of the leading intellectual historians of the twentieth century and the founding president of Wolfson College, University of Oxford. His many books include The Hedgehog and the Fox, The Crooked Timber of Humanity, The Roots of Romanticism, and Against the Current (all Princeton). 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 He has edited several other volumes by Berlin, and is currently preparing Berlin's letters and remaining unpublished writings for publication.
Isaiah Berlin's response to the Soviet Union was central to his identity, both personally and intellectually. Born a Russian subject in Riga in 1909, he spoke Russian as a child and witnessed both revolutions in St. Petersburg in 1917, emigrating to the West in 1921. He first returned to Russia in 1945, when he met the writers Anna Akhmatova and Boris Pasternak. These formative encounters helped shape his later work, especially his defense of political freedom and his studies of pre-Soviet Russian thinkers. Never before collected, Berlin's writings about the USSR include his accounts of his famous meetings with Russian writers shortly after the Second World War; the celebrated 1945 Foreign Office memorandum on the state of the arts under Stalin; his account of Stalin's manipulative 'artificial dialectic'; portraits of Osip Mandel'shtam and Boris Pasternak; his survey of Soviet Russian culture written after a visit in 1956; a postscript stimulated by the events of 1989; and more. This collection includes essays that have never been published before, as well as works that are not widely known because they were published under pseudonyms to protect relatives living in Russia. The contents of this book were discussed at a seminar in Oxford in 2003, held under the auspices of the Brookings Institution. Berlin's editor, Henry Hardy, had prepared the essays for collective publication and here recounts their history. In his foreword, Brookings president Strobe Talbott, an expert on the Soviet Union, relates the essays to Berlin's other work. The Soviet Mind will assume its rightful place among Berlin's works and will prove invaluable for policymakers, students, and those interested in Russian politics, past, present and future.
这本书,我读了三天,读完后醍醐灌顶,耳清目明,思路开阔。由于这周时间太紧,我只能简单谈几点。 首先,《苏联的心灵——共产主义时代的俄国文化》是以赛亚•柏林关于苏联的一本文集,最早的文章在1945年二战结束时,最晚的是写在1990年苏联解体,内容时有互现。书很短不...
评分在红色的俄罗斯时代,无论是列宁还是斯大林,亦或是后来的红色继任者,对于苏联本身的文化的影响首先在于政治和意识形态上专制,究其根源在以赛亚·伯林的严重认为是简单化的马克思主义在意识形态上的一种出于政治面目的目的并和个人领导者性格有关的一种解释。书中的观...

评分【以赛亚柏林的“多元主义”】 在以赛亚柏林的词汇中,“多元主义”是少有的几个带此后缀而具有积极含义的词语。其他的各种“主义”不是让人怀疑就是令人厌恶。 “目标冲突的不可避免性”在他看来,乃是”迄今为止我所能发现的唯一的真理”。“有些至高无上的善(the Great G...
评分十月革命过后不久的一个夜晚,诗人曼德尔施塔姆在一家咖啡馆喝咖啡,契卡军官勃柳姆金正醉醺醺地把即将被处决者的名字抄到空白表格上,曼德尔施塔姆突然迎身冲向勃柳姆金,一把抓过名单将其撕碎,随即冲出门外,后来是托洛茨基的姐姐救了他。以赛亚•伯林1945年造访苏联...
Berlin的一个长句真的能写一页纸啊!又觉得自己离高大上的学术世界远了一步呢。喜欢中段的故事,Berlin本人从点滴出发对苏联的分析现在看来显得不尽不全了
评分柏林真是清楚明了,《苏联的心灵》这本中国人读来大概会心领神会
评分重新讀一遍。。。
评分我我我承认我的英文不好。。。坐等中文版。。。
评分三星半。文章之间内容略重复,多数谈不上犀利,但文笔不错。Soviet Russian Culture这篇写得有些鸡血,从学术角度不太喜欢。写Akhmatova和Pasternak的两篇很好,非常浪漫忧伤,太动人。
