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 Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism.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.
##初讀會受益於伯林的強梳理能力,讓對自由的討論有起點可尋。但因為始終沒有給齣清晰哪怕很薄的界定,使得內部諸多不一緻。如果采取“同情式”的理解,可能要迴到他當時要揭示的價值多元論命題,當然這又是一個棘手的問題。

評分昨天和劉擎老師就本書第39頁裏麵的一段話爭論瞭一下午,結果發現,我們使用的是不同的版本,而且不同版本之間有不少齣入。後來,我緻信伯林文集編輯Henry Hardy。他告訴我,重印本會不斷糾正前麵版本的錯誤,以下是他發給我的糾正目錄:http://t.cn/RlluUU7 @2017-11-08 15:24:33
