Isaiah Berlin's liberalism seems both dated and essential in an era
of ideological extremes. Berlin's vision of liberalism rejected
metaphysics, philosophies of history, and particular conceptions of
the good, setting a pattern for Anglo-American political thought
that is still influential and may offer resources for understanding
the resurgence of ideology in the twenty-first century, but one
that also seems to be firmly embedded in the Cold War opposition of
liberalism against Marxism. In this volume, ten political theorists
reconsider Berlin's thought-especially his famous essay, "Two
Concepts of Liberty"-in the light of contemporary political
developments such as populism. Several contributors focus on
Berlin's neglected idea of political "maturity" as holding a key to
his thought, making it an important site of contestation over his
legacy. Others analyse Berlin's notoriously fraught definition of
liberty and his understanding of value pluralism; situate him as a
Cold War liberal; and relate his work to that of contemporaries
such as Raymond Aron and Leo Strauss. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Critical Review.
