Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) was a central figure in twentieth-century
political thought. This volume highlights Berlin's significance for
contemporary readers, covering not only his writings on liberty and
liberalism, the Enlightenment and Romanticism, Russian thinkers and
pluralism, but also the implications of his thought for political
theory, history, and the social sciences, as well as the ethical
challenges confronting political actors, and the nature and
importance of practical judgment for politics and scholarship. His
name and work are inseparable from the revival of political
philosophy and the analysis of political extremism and defense of
democratic liberalism following World War II. Berlin was primarily
an essayist who spoke through commentary on other authors and,
while his own commitments and allegiances are clear enough, much in
his thought remains controversial. Berlin's work constitutes an
unsystematic and incomplete, but nevertheless sweeping and
profound, defense of political, ethical, and intellectual humanism
in an anti-humanistic age.
