Product Description

Product Description

The main theme of this collection of essays is the importance in the history of thought of dissenters whose ideas still challenge conventional wisdom. The book offers a powerful defence of variety in our visions of life, and it also contains an updated bibliography of Berlin's publications.


From the Back Cover

'This is an exceptional volume by a remarkable intellectual. Berlin's essays are wide-ranging, rich, deeply learned, and elegant." (Mitchell Cohen, City University of New York) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
