As the essays in this collection make plain, Isaiah Berlin invented
neither the term "Counter-Enlightenment" nor the concept. However,
more than any other figure since the eighteenth century, Berlin
appropriated the term, made it the heart of his own political
thought, and imbued his interpretations of particular thinkers with
its meanings and significance. His diverse treatment of writers at
the margins of the Enlightenment, who themselves reflected upon
what they took to be its central currents, were at once historical
and philosophical. Berlin sought to show that our patterns of
culture, manufactured by ourselves, must be explained differently
from the ways in which we seek to fathom laws of nature. Many of
the essays in this volume were prepared for the International
Seminar in memory of Sir Isaiah Berlin, held at the School of
History in Tel Aviv University during the academic year 1999-2000.
