Liberty is a revised and expanded edition of the book that Isaiah Berlin regarded as his most important—Four Essays on Liberty, a standard text of liberalism, constantly in demand and constantly discussed since it was first published in 1969. Writing in Harper's, Irving Howe described it as "an exhilarating performance—this, one tells oneself, is what the life of the mind can be."
Berlin's editor Henry Hardy has revised the text, incorporating a fifth essay that Berlin himself had wanted to include. He has also added further pieces that bear on the same topic, so that Berlin's principal statements on liberty are at last available together in one volume. Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism. These additions help us to grasp the nature of Berlin's "inner citadel," as he called it—the core of personal conviction from which some of his most influential writing sprung.
##因為哲學課讀的書越來越看不懂/不感興趣瞭所以我決定每本下麵編些不相乾的鬍話,整理的時候就感覺好像自己真有收獲一樣。水手需要預測暴風雨的時候,會跑到甲闆上用鼻子吸一吸,再不濟就伸舌頭嘗一嘗,吉兆是仍然鹹澀的海風,凶兆是壞血病夢境般溫柔甜蜜的鮮橙味。
評分##PT 101
評分##隻讀瞭其中的“兩種自由”一篇。前麵的梳理雖然dense,但是條理清晰,且有效地展開瞭兩者間的張力,很厲害。就是最後強調negative liberty,並且認為這會促成文化多元,這樣的論點和論述過程讓我多少有些不敢恭維。其實關鍵還在於Berlin當時心裏要解決的問題。
評分##初讀會受益於伯林的強梳理能力,讓對自由的討論有起點可尋。但因為始終沒有給齣清晰哪怕很薄的界定,使得內部諸多不一緻。如果采取“同情式”的理解,可能要迴到他當時要揭示的價值多元論命題,當然這又是一個棘手的問題。
評分昨天和劉擎老師就本書第39頁裏麵的一段話爭論瞭一下午,結果發現,我們使用的是不同的版本,而且不同版本之間有不少齣入。後來,我緻信伯林文集編輯Henry Hardy。他告訴我,重印本會不斷糾正前麵版本的錯誤,以下是他發給我的糾正目錄:http://t.cn/RlluUU7 @2017-11-08 15:24:33
評分##與譯林內容一緻。除瞭刪改字詞
評分##Practical Philanthropy
評分##伯林是個思想史的好老師,是少有的會像演講稿一樣安排內容的思想史作者,總是清晰地告訴讀者他要討論的是什麼問題。最愛的一篇是The Birth of Greek Individualism. 前麵的編輯手記一定要讀,非常贊!
