Liberty is a revised and expanded edition of the book that Isaiah Berlin regarded as his most important—Four Essays on Liberty, a standard text of liberalism, constantly in demand and constantly discussed since it was first published in 1969. Writing in Harper's, Irving Howe described it as "an exhilarating performance—this, one tells oneself, is what the life of the mind can be."
Berlin's editor Henry Hardy has revised the text, incorporating a fifth essay that Berlin himself had wanted to include. He has also added further pieces that bear on the same topic, so that Berlin's principal statements on liberty are at last available together in one volume. Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism. These additions help us to grasp the nature of Berlin's "inner citadel," as he called it—the core of personal conviction from which some of his most influential writing sprung.

评分 评分##因为哲学课读的书越来越看不懂/不感兴趣了所以我决定每本下面编些不相干的胡话,整理的时候就感觉好像自己真有收获一样。水手需要预测暴风雨的时候,会跑到甲板上用鼻子吸一吸,再不济就伸舌头尝一尝,吉兆是仍然咸涩的海风,凶兆是坏血病梦境般温柔甜蜜的鲜橙味。
评分##初读会受益于伯林的强梳理能力,让对自由的讨论有起点可寻。但因为始终没有给出清晰哪怕很薄的界定,使得内部诸多不一致。如果采取“同情式”的理解,可能要回到他当时要揭示的价值多元论命题,当然这又是一个棘手的问题。
