The Sense of Reality - Studies in Ideas and Their History

BuchKartoniert, Paperback
488 Seiten
Englisch
Princeton University Presserschienen am05.02.2019
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year For anyone wanting to understand the twists and turns of the history of ideas, this book will be indispensable. -John Gray, New York Times Book ReviewThe Sense of Reality was the last new collection of essays published by Isaiah Berlin in his lifetime. All informed by Berlin´s lifelong fascination with the history of ideas, these engaging studies range widely: the subjects explored include realism in history; judgment in politics; the history of socialism; the nature and impact of Marxism; the radical cultural revolution instigated by the Romantics; Russian notions of artistic commitment; and the origins and practice of nationalism. The title essay, taking its cue from the impossibility of recreating a bygone epoch, is a superb centerpiece. Now with a new foreword by Timothy Snyder and a new appendix comprising a previously unpublished essay on the great Russian critic Vissarion Belinksy and a previously uncollected lecture on utopianism, The Sense of Reality is a rich and illuminating collection from one of the most seductive writers and thinkers of the twentieth century.mehr
