Description

Here the reader will find Berlin's famous essay on Tolstoy, "The Hedgehog and the Fox"; his penetrating portraits of important contemporaries - from Pasternak and Akhmatova to Churchill and Roosevelt; his seminal essays on liberty and his exposition of his most distinctive doctrine - pluralism; his defense of philosophy and history against assimilation to science; and his brilliant studies of intellectual originals such as Machiavelli, Vico, and Herder.
