Description

The nineteen essays collected here show Isaiah Berlin at his most lucid: these short, introductory pieces provide the perfect starting-point for the reader new to his work. Their common theme is the crucial social and political role of ideas, and of their progenitors. The subjects vary from philosophy to education, from Russia to Israel, from Marxism to romanticism. As a whole, the book exhibits the full range of Berlin’s expertise, and demonstrates the enormously engaging individuality, as well as the power, of his ideas.

About the Author

Isaiah Berlin was born in Riga, now capital of Latvia, in 1909. When he was six, his family moved to Russia, and in Petrograd in 1917 Berlin witnessed both Revolutions - Social Democratic and Bolshevik. In 1921 he and his parents emigrated to England, where he was educated at St Paul s School, London, and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Apart from his war service in New York, Washington, Moscow and Leningrad, he remained at Oxford thereafter - as a Fellow of All Souls, then of New College, as Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory, and as founding President of Wolfson College. He also held the Presidency of the British Academy.
