"Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made."--Immanuel Kant Isaiah Berlin was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century--an activist of the intellect who marshaled vast erudition and eloquence in defense of the endangered values of individual liberty and moral and political plurality. In The Crooked Timber of Humanity he exposes the links between the ideas of the past and the social and political cataclysms of our own time: between the Platonic belief in absolute truth and the lure of authoritarianism; between the eighteenth-century reactionary ideologue Joseph de Maistre and twentieth-century Fascism; between the romanticism of Schiller and Byron and the militant--and sometimes genocidal--nationalism that convulses the modern world. This new edition features a revised text that supplants all previous versions, a new foreword in which award-winning novelist John Banville discusses Berlin's life and ideas, particularly his defense of pluralism, and a substantial new appendix that provides rich context, including letters by Berlin and previously uncollected writings, most notably his virtuoso review of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy.… (meer)

I'm currently reading Alan Ryan's _On Politics_, a new survey of political theory from the Greeks to the present. In the introduction, Ryan states that Isaiah Berlin's essays provide one model or ideal for his project, in terms of their extraordinary vividness and an almost uncanny ability to engage with the temperament of the thinkers he wrote about. That's a better blurb than I could write, and it rings true.

During the fight against fascism and the Cold War, Berlin was an important thinker. I don't think that his essays are quite as relevant today, but they do provide extremely readable access to the history of ideas. ( )

Ho avuto più problemi a scegliere le giuste etichette/tag a questo libro che a leggerlo. Scorrendo il lungo thread di commenti e recensioni, in tutte le lingue, mi sono reso conto di quanto variegato sia l'orizzonte umano nei suoi punti di vista. L'uomo quando pensa su se stesso rende sempre le cose più complicate di quanto esse non siano. Basta rileggersi alcuni passi della letteratura sapienziale biblica, Siracide, Qoelet, Proverbi ... per rendersi conto di quanto non possa essere raddrizzabile quel "legno storto" a cui si riferisce Kant. Badate bene, non intendo dire che la chiave della soluzione sia in quelle letture. Dico soltanto che se l'inizio fu un "mistero" (Qoehlet lo chiama "hebel"- "nebbia") cercare di risolverlo è come falciare la nebbia. Ma, allora, direte voi Kant è un fesso a porsi una domanda del genere e Berlin uno stupido a discuterne? Dico soltanto che queste "cose", che stanno tra il cielo e la terra, ma più in cielo che in terra, è bene leggerle, conoscerle e studiarle, ma non è bene non caderci dentro, perchè si scopre che quel benedetto/maledetto legno più lo si guarda, lo si tiene tra le mani, più si intorciglia. Bisogna tenerselo così com'è e come sempre sarà: storto ... ( )
