具体描述
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 Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism.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.

##书果然得多读几遍。其实很多话都是重复，就是把一句话换一种方式再说一遍，不过这样对读者很友好。伯林的论述中有个有意思的问题：自然科学方法论与形而上学看起来是对手，然而就这么联手了~
评分##按柏林，古希腊的个人主义显于公元前4-3世纪拐角。但是令人困惑的问题是，从柏拉图到芝诺等人的转变过程中，到底发生了什么。虽然柏林讨论着古希腊个人主义，但他引用的却是罗斯托夫采夫等人，而非古朗士与格罗兹。后者从城邦内部社会生活的变化中，讨论了个人主义是如何在城邦兴起的。至于结尾以贵族抱怨城邦生活为例，实际上有些不适合。雅典内部纷争是从梭伦时期就一直蛰伏着，而公元前5世纪下叶以降的战争，损耗的正是富裕阶层。日益趋平化的社会图景，对于往昔富裕者而言，如若无法通过政治获取权力与声望，那么以巧妙的方式回归自我，似乎是很直接的选择。

评分##2006年写毕业论文竟然参考过，估计是纯粹装逼，八成都没读吧
评分昨天和刘擎老师就本书第39页里面的一段话争论了一下午，结果发现，我们使用的是不同的版本，而且不同版本之间有不少出入。后来，我致信伯林文集编辑Henry Hardy。他告诉我，重印本会不断纠正前面版本的错误，以下是他发给我的纠正目录：http://t.cn/RlluUU7 @2017-11-08 15:24:33
