'He becomes everyman's guide to everything exciting in the history
of ideas' New York Review of Books Isaiah Berlin was one of the
leading thinkers of the twentieth century, and one of the finest
writers. The Proper Study Of Mankind selects some of his best
essays in which his insights both illuminate the past and offer a
key to the burning issues of today. The full (and enormous) range
of his work is represented here, from the exposition of his most
distinctive doctrine - pluralism - to studies of Machiavelli,
Tolstoy, Churchill and Roosevelt. In these pages he encapsulates
the principal movements that characterise the modern age:
romanticism, historicism, Fascism, relativism, irrationalism and
nationalism. His ideas are always tied to the people who conceived
them, so that abstractions are brought alive. EDITED BY HENRY HARDY
AND ROGER HAUSHEER AND WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY ANDREW MARR
