Isaiah Berlin, a prominent public intellectual of the second half of the twentieth century, is examined in historical context for the first time as a thinker deeply influenced by, and deeply reactive against, the British Idealists.
A new reading of the twentieth-century philosopher Isaiah Berlin.
This book argues that the Russian-British philosopher Isaiah Berlin should primarily be understood through British idealism. Though he adopted Kantian methodology and a view of people as purposive beings, he rejected the Idealists’ monism and theories of positive liberty. Robert A. Kocis demonstrates how, like Michael Oakeshott and R. G. Collingwood, Berlin can be seen as a ‘post-Idealist’ thinker, invested in the implications of that rich tradition.
