A New York Times Notable Book of the Year "For anyone wanting to
understand the twists and turns of the history of ideas, this book
will be indispensable." John Gray, New York Times Book Review The
Sense of Reality was the last new collection of essays published by
Isaiah Berlin in his lifetime. All informed by Berlin's lifelong
fascination with the history of ideas, these engaging studies range
widely: the subjects explored include realism in history; judgment
in politics; the history of socialism; the nature and impact of
Marxism; the radical cultural revolution instigated by the
Romantics; Russian notions of artistic commitment; and the origins
and practice of nationalism. The title essay, taking its cue from
the impossibility of recreating a bygone epoch, is a superb
centerpiece. Now with a new foreword by Timothy Snyder and a new
appendix comprising a previously unpublished essay on the great
Russian critic Vissarion Belinksy and a previously uncollected
lecture on utopianism, The Sense of Reality is a rich and
illuminating collection from one of the most seductive writers and
thinkers of the twentieth century.
