'A most remarkable intellectual achievement. There are few books published in our time which more dazzlingly illuminate some of the most crucial problems of western culture and civilisation.' Goronwy Rees, Encounter
Berlin's main theme in these essays is the importance in the history of thought of dissenters whose ideas still challenge conventional wisdom - among them Machiavelli, Vico, Montesquieu, Herzen and Sorel. With his unusual powers of imaginative re-creation, he brings to life original minds that swam against the current of their times, and in the process offers a powerful defence of variety in our visions of life. Roger Hausheer's introduction surveys Berlin's whole oeuvre, and the full bibliography of his publications has been updated for this pimlico edition.
'Berlin expounds the ideas of half-forgotten thinkers with luminous clarity and an imaginative empathy...exhilarating to read.' Keith Thomas, Observer

'Isaiah Berlin has a masterly grasp. He is one of the most concerned liberal minds in Europe.' V.S. Pritchett, New Statesman
'As a historian of ideas, he has no equal; and what he has to say is expressed in prose of exceptional lucidity and grace.' Anthony Storr, Independent on Sunday
