以赛亚·伯林（Isaiah Berlin）于1997年辞世，享年88岁，这让他的友人与读者感到巨大的损失。伯林有一种罕见的天赋，能将他在阅读他所赞赏的哲学家、诗人、音乐家和政治家的作品时所感受到的兴奋来激发别人，尽管他对那些作品的赞赏从不是纯粹的。在论及思想史的生动作品以及对人物生平的勾勒中，以赛亚•伯林本能性地在他自己与他的研究对象之间保持着批评性的距离。这种本能对他和他的研究对象同样有益。通过发现和揭示一个思想家的思想中或一个作者的生活中存在的矛盾，通过指出一个卓越政治家的远见如何被一些盲点所遮蔽以及被无意识的局限所制约，伯林得以展现他在道德上与政治上为之辩护的多元主义是如何深入地根植于人类经验之中。他以这种方式赋予了他所珍爱的东西更多的价值。 1998年秋，纽约人文研究院主办了一个纪念伯林逝世周年的会议。此前，牛津、伦敦、华盛顿和...(展开全部)
