With His Unusual Powers Of Imaginative Recreation, Berlin Brings To Life Original Minds That Swam Against The Current Of Their Timesand Still Challenge Conventional Wisdom.In A New Foreword To This Corrected Edition, Which Also Includes A New Appendix Of Letters In Which Berlin Discusses And Further Illuminates Some Of Its Topics, Noted Essayist Mark Lilla Argues That Berlin'S Decision To Give Up A Philosophy Fellowship And Become A Historian Of Ideas Represented Not An Abandonment Of Philosophy But A Decision To Do Philosophy By Other, Perhaps Better, Means.
