Proper Study of Mankind Berlin Isaiah
This is edited by Henry Hardy and Roger Hausheer and with a new foreword by Andrew Marr. The Proper Study Of Mankind selects some of the best of his essays. Isaiah Berlin was one of the leading thinkers of the century, and one of the finest writers.
In these pages he encapsulates the principal movements that characterise the modern age: romanticism, historicism, Fascism, relativism, irrationalism and nationalism. The full (and enormous) range of his work is represented here, from the exposition of his most distinctive doctrine - pluralism - to studies of Machiavelli, Tolstoy, Churchill and Roosevelt. His ideas are always tied to the people who conceived them, so that abstractions are brought alive.
His insights both illuminate the past and offer a key to the burning issues of the today.
