Required reading for fans of Tom Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia -the landmark investigation into Russian history and thought
Few, if any, English-language critics have written as perceptively as Isaiah Berlin about Russian thought and culture. Russian Thinkers is his unique meditation on the impact that Russia's outstanding writers and philosophers had on its culture. In addition to Tolstoy's philosophy of history, which he addresses in his most famous essay, "The Hedgehog and the Fox," Berlin considers the social and political circumstances that produced such men as Herzen, Bakunin, Turgenev, Belinsky, and others of the Russian intelligentsia, who made up, as Berlin describes, "the largest single Russian contribution to social change in the world."
用户评论
柏林的著作，还是读原文好，语言流畅许多。
在偪仄的飛機上讀赫爾岑與巴枯寧那一章，如啜甘醴，酣暢淋灕，可惜疫情期間既沒有酒也沒有熟食，於是開心地大嚼薯片！
震撼
读完中译本再来读原版，依旧为之折服，美妙的杰作。Berlin对历史、知识阶层、目的论、自由、民粹的探讨让人豁然开朗，这样的书无论何时翻开都能带来灵性的慰藉。
2021/5/1 吉林。人是目的，而不是工具。人性的扭曲之材，断然造不出笔直之物。决定论，目的论，宏大的抽象概念，乌托邦许诺＋工具理性至上，我国可真是把socialism和modern captalism的病都得全了啊😂绝望……
酣畅淋漓！必须重读
终于看完了，最后一篇之前搞屠的时候竟然读过，一年前还不知道柏林是谁，一年后已经爬了这么多文论了。能把话说得这么明白清楚希望所有理论人都能好好学习……真的学到很多。
