Against the Current: Essays in the History of Ideas. from Princeton University Press Price: $22.95 Customer Review: Sir Isaiah Berlin was the greatest exponent of Liberal Pluralism in the 20th Century. "Against The Current" is probably his best collection of essays. The essays on Verdi and George Sorel are worth the price of the book alone. Do yourself a favor and read this book. You will not regret it. |

The Proper Study of Mankind: An Anthology of Essays from Farrar Straus Giroux Price: $14.00 Customer Review: Isaiah Berlin wrote a lot of essays, as the size of this book, THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND, absolutely demonstrates. Near the middle of the book is an essay, "The Originality of Machiavelli," which shows how well Berlin could categorize intellectual activities into various kinds of... |

Three Critics of the Enlightenment from Princeton University Press Price: $14.67 Customer Review:  Following that dictum, I might point out that, especially in two areas of contemporary concern, Hamann's thought is highly relevant: Oswald Bayer has shown in Autoritaet und Kritik (1991) that Hamann's hermeneutics -- antedating by two centuries Derrida's reflections on intertextuality -- provides... |

Freedom and Its Betrayal : Six Enemies of Human Liberty from Princeton University Press Price: $12.57 Customer Review:  I was more familiar with German philosophy, as an intellectual reaction to the French revolution, than with the French and Italian thinkers who are also discussed in the radio lectures which are included in this book. I also have the book, KARL MARX by Isaiah Berlin, and noticed some of the same... |

Liberty: Incorporating Four Essays on Liberty from Oxford University Press Price: $13.27 Customer Review: Berlin's essays provide some of the most original arguments for the priority of individual liberty, and particularly so-called negative rights, those that give us the right to be left alone. His writing is at once lucid and colorful. An essential volume for those interested in freedom. |

The Crooked Timber of Humanity from Princeton University Press Price: $10.47 Customer Review: There is an index for this collection of essays, but it does not find much to point to about the United States of America, except where particular examples get mixed in with the clutter of events that are described as the context of the rise of nationalism: "So too, it may be that no minority that... |

The Sense of Reality: Studies in Ideas and Their History from Farrar Straus Giroux Price: $10.40 Customer Review: I have, since first reading this book a few years ago, made an effort to add it to the libraries of all my friends whenever a holiday occurs. It is a book that I reread whenever I want to be stimulated. The opening essay, "The Sense of Reality", is a masterful study of historical thinking. Berlin is... |

The Power of Ideas from Princeton University Press Price: $18.95 Customer Review: First, let me say that this is a selection of Berlin editorials, arranged by Henry Hardy. The title is a quotation from Heine, who warned the French not to undervalue the power of ideas, since philosophical concepts nurtured in the peace of a library can destroy a civilization. Under this... |

The Roots of Romanticism from Princeton University Press Price: $11.87 Customer Review:  Isaiah Berlin is a good scholar and a colorful writer. However, his book The Roots of Romanticism, I did not find helpful. I suppose maybe if one approached this book with no prior knowledge of romanticism, maybe than it might provide some useful information. But if one is looking for further... |

Hamann called, "J.G. Hamann: A Study in Christian Existentialism" written by Ronald Gregor Smith. It shows the real man behind the mystery and the beauty of his faith in Christ. This book is not worth the time or struggle to get through the author's... |

A Golden Anniversary Bibliography of Edgar Rice Burroughs from Donald m Grant Price: $100.00 Customer Review: There can be no doubt that Henry Heins loves Edgar Rice Burroughs. I bought the 1964 original of this volume many years ago when it was really just a fanzine. When Donald Grant used it to launch his own publishing house I didn't buy a copy. Of course it sold out fairly quickly and for about 30 years... |
