Rezension zu „Concepts and Categories: Philosophical Essays - Second Edition “
Being a man of the liveliest and most ingenious intellect, [Berlin] must wish that reason could do more to transform the human condition radically and quickly; being a man of common sense he knows it cannot. -- Edward Crankshaw The Observer He left the moral quality of his voice behind him, in the long tumbling paragraphs and the clauses within clauses of his best essays, and it is to these that we can turn when we need to remind ourselves what intellectual life can be: joyful, free of illusion, and vitally alive. -- Michael Ignatieff The New York Review of Books
