具体描述
Liberty is a revised and expanded edition of the book that Isaiah Berlin regarded as his most important—Four Essays on Liberty, a standard text of liberalism, constantly in demand and constantly discussed since it was first published in 1969. Writing in Harper's, Irving Howe described it as "an exhilarating performance—this, one tells oneself, is what the life of the mind can be."
Berlin's editor Henry Hardy has revised the text, incorporating a fifth essay that Berlin himself had wanted to include. He has also added further pieces that bear on the same topic, so that Berlin's principal statements on liberty are at last available together in one volume. Finally, in an extended preface and in appendices drawn from Berlin's unpublished writings, he exhibits some of the biographical sources of Berlin's lifelong preoccupation with liberalism. These additions help us to grasp the nature of Berlin's "inner citadel," as he called it—the core of personal conviction from which some of his most influential writing sprung.

##因为哲学课读的书越来越看不懂/不感兴趣了所以我决定每本下面编些不相干的胡话，整理的时候就感觉好像自己真有收获一样。水手需要预测暴风雨的时候，会跑到甲板上用鼻子吸一吸，再不济就伸舌头尝一尝，吉兆是仍然咸涩的海风，凶兆是坏血病梦境般温柔甜蜜的鲜橙味。
评分##读Berlin就仿佛是一个英国老绅士在你对面，语调冷静克制，但藏不住厚重的情怀。自由四论。还是要相信一些使人生之为人的原则，不管遥不遥远。
评分昨天和刘擎老师就本书第39页里面的一段话争论了一下午，结果发现，我们使用的是不同的版本，而且不同版本之间有不少出入。后来，我致信伯林文集编辑Henry Hardy。他告诉我，重印本会不断纠正前面版本的错误，以下是他发给我的纠正目录：http://t.cn/RlluUU7 @2017-11-08 15:24:33

评分##初读会受益于伯林的强梳理能力，让对自由的讨论有起点可寻。但因为始终没有给出清晰哪怕很薄的界定，使得内部诸多不一致。如果采取“同情式”的理解，可能要回到他当时要揭示的价值多元论命题，当然这又是一个棘手的问题。
评分##PT 101
评分##從南校運過來的書。導修前重讀two concepts of liberty
评分##中英一起看的。读完了，大受启发大受震撼，把自由的概念啊，形成啊，政体啊分析地好清楚啊！虽然有一些部分还可能不是很懂。读完挺佩服John Mill的🙏摘一句不错的话：“to realize the relative validity of one‘s conviction’s and stand for them unflinchingly is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian.”
评分##其实 Berlin 说，Two Concepts 那篇文章，主要是历史性的辨析，而非哲学性的辨析。
