Features: Isaiah Berlin was a hugely influential theorist in his time, and his concept of "two concepts of liberty" sparked widespread debate in the field of political philosophy. Berlin also conducted in-depth research and exploration on Romanticism, German idealism, and Russian modern thought. All of these are situated within his framework of value pluralism. This book is divided into three parts: the first part explores Berlin's engagement with Romanticism; the second part features discussions by contemporary important theorists on Berlin's two concepts of liberty; the third part focuses on Berlin's life and career. This book serves as a fundamental read for understanding this liberal theorist.
