'He speaks with such infectious energy that he sweeps us up and carries us with him into territory that had seemed inaccessible. He becomes everyman's guide to everything exciting in the history of ideas.'
New York Review of Books
Isaiah Berlin was one of the leading thinkers of the century, and one of the finest writers. The Proper Study of Mankind provides a selection of the best of his essays. 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. In these pages he encapsulates the principle movements that characterise the modern age: romanticism, historicism, Fascism, relativism, irrationalism and nationalism. His ideas are always tied to the people who conceived them, so that abstractions are brought alive. His insights illuminate the past and offer a key to the burning issues of today.
"A restatement of liberalism in a form by which the world could live."
Anthony Smith, Observer
'His uniqueness can be very well sampled in this admirable selection...Large as it is, it can serve only to stimulate the appetite.' Anthony Quinton, Evening Standard
