"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 He has edited several other volumes by Berlin, and is currently preparing Berlin's letters and remaining unpublished writings for publication.
某种意义上说,《扭曲的人性之材》可以看作是《反潮流》的姊妹篇。众所周知,伯林对多元主义价值观的强调,贯穿到了他的一系列著作之中,因此很难提炼和归纳出他思想中的统一主题。但在观念史研究这个大前提下,《扭曲的人性之材》和《反潮流》还具有了某些同一性和关涉性。比...
评分◆ 4 我们常常把“我尊重你的想法”挂在嘴边,但很多时候只是单纯承认“人和人之间不一样”这一被动事实,却无法也不愿去真正拥抱、赞赏和理解别人的想法。 >“我喜欢咖啡,而你喜欢香槟。我们口味不同,没什么可说的。”这是相对主义。但是赫尔德、维柯的观点并不是这种:...
评分PS:很久以前写的,在看《扭曲的人性之材》的时候写的,现在想把它放到空间里,和有兴趣的盆友一起讨论。 乌托邦:一个处于纯粹和谐状态的世界,那里所有的成员都和平相处,彼此相爱,免于皮肉之苦,远离任何欲望,也不用担心受怕,没有低贱的劳作,没有妒忌和失落,不会受到不...
评分公元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...
评分《扭曲的人性之材》应该是我读过的所有伯林的书籍中比较不理想的一本,也许这么说吧,这一本的演讲稿和论文集收录的文章彼此之间没有一条贯穿其中的逻辑主线,相较《自由及其背叛》、《浪漫主义的根源》(这是我认为最好的一本伯林文集)和《反潮流》,其脉络都更为模糊疏松,...

评分好久没看大大大大学者写的书了,博学到匪夷所思啊,而且文笔还那么好,每次看到这种书就会唤醒小的时候对学者无限膜拜的感情,同时觉得我还是回家开个小卖部得了。

评分乌托邦到极权主义,浪漫主义到国家主义,扭曲的人性之材一不小心就会发展成为灾难,中间一篇写maistre的思想预示法西斯主义的是精华
