Isaiah Berlin was one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth
century - a man who set ideas on fire. His defence of liberty and
plurality was passionate and persuasive and inspired a generation.
His ideas - especially his reasoned rejection of excessive
certainty and political despotism - have become even more prescient
and vital today. But who was the man behind such influential views?
In Search of Isaiah Berlin tells the compelling story of a
decades-long collaboration between Berlin and his editor, Henry
Hardy, who made it his vocation to bring Berlin's huge body of work
into print. Hardy discovered that Berlin had written far more than
people thought, much of it unpublished. As he describes his
struggles with Berlin, who was almost on principle unwilling to
have his work published, an intimate and revealing picture of the
self-deprecating philosopher emerges. This is a unique portrait of
a man who gave us a new way of thinking about the human
predicament, and whose work had for most of his life remained
largely out of view.
