"Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made." - Immanuel Kant. Isaiah Berlin was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century - an activist of the intellect who marshaled vast erudition and eloquence in defense of the endangered values of individual liberty and moral and political pluralism. In the "Crooked Timber of Humanity", he exposes the links between the ideas of the past and the social and political cataclysms of our present century: between the Platonic belief in absolute Truth and the lure of authoritarianism; between the eighteenth-century reactionary ideologue Joseph de Maistre and twentieth-century fascism; between the romanticism of Schiller and Byron and the militant - and sometimes genocidal - nationalism that convulses the modern world.
Isaiah Berlin was, until his death in 1997, a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. He was renowned as an essayist and as the author of many books, among them "Karl Marx, Four Essays on Liberty, Russian Thinkers, The Sense of Reality, The Proper Study of Mankind," and from Princeton, "Concepts and Categories, Personal Impressions, The Crooked Timber of Humanity, The Roots of Romanticism, The Power of Ideas," and "Three Critics of the Enlightenment".
Henry Hardy, a Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, is one of Isaiah Berlin's literary trustees. He has edited several other volumes by Berlin, and is currently preparing Berlin's letters and remaining unpublished writings for publication.
公元1990,历史的车轮仿佛骤然加快,全世界都带着一种失重的快感,倏忽跨入20世纪的最后一个十年之期。各种新说旧论,竞逐着辩难的话语之巅,并依据冷战格局的急剧蜕变,寻找支撑各自内在理路得以延展的事实座标。以赛亚•伯林(Isaiah Berlin),这位可能是这个世纪最伟大思...
評分前言 又一本伯林的书。太喜欢这个作者了,遇见真是缘分……脑袋中许多模糊暧昧的想法,跟着他的思路都理清了。感觉又掌控了自己的脑壳(・・;) 不过在想是不是应该少看些这种暂时没卵用的思想史观念史啊? 观念和思想太强烈反而写不出好故事。一些东西被解构了,生活和历史...

評分“怎么能够让所有人都接受这样一种苍白,幽暗,死气沉沉的状态,缺乏色彩,了无生气,没有艺术,也不够人性。对那些秉持歌德这种带有浪漫主义色彩的个人主义而言,重要的不是共同基础,而是差异......” “理想自身呈现出一种绝对律令(a categorical imperative)的形式:要遵...
評分"Out of cross-grained/crooked timber of human nature nothing quite straight can be made." “理想的追求” 在某一刻,我意识到,所有这些观念的共同之处是一个柏拉图式的理念:首先,像在科学中一样,所有真正的问题都应该有且只有一个真正的答案,而其他的答案都必然是...

评分卓越的洞察力,驚人的現實感,真的好久沒讀過這樣激動人心的書瞭。沿著啓濛/反啓濛的綫索勾勒齣瞭烏托邦主義、浪漫主義、法西斯主義、民族主義的根基,講Maistre的一章篇幅最長,尤其精彩,最後一章將民族主義和當代西方青年運動類比起來,也洞見極深。

评分好久沒看大大大大學者寫的書瞭,博學到匪夷所思啊,而且文筆還那麼好,每次看到這種書就會喚醒小的時候對學者無限膜拜的感情,同時覺得我還是迴傢開個小賣部得瞭。
