Specificatii
Isaiah Berlin was deeply admired during his life, but his full
contribution was perhaps underestimated because of his preference
for the long essay form. The efforts of Henry Hardy to edit
Berlin's work and reintroduce it to a broad, eager readership have
gone far to remedy this. Now, Princeton is pleased to return to
print, under one cover, Berlin's essays on these celebrated and
captivating intellectual portraits: Vico, Hamann, and Herder. These
essays on three relatively uncelebrated thinkers are not marginal
ruminations, but rather among Berlin's most important studies in
the history of ideas. They are integral to his central project: the
critical recovery of the ideas of the Counter-Enlightenment and the
explanation of its appeal and consequences--both positive and
(often) tragic. Giambattista Vico was the anachronistic and
impoverished Neapolitan philosopher sometimes credited with
founding the human sciences. He opposed Enlightenment methods as
cold and fallacious. J. G. Hamann was a pious, cranky dilettante in
a peripheral German city. But he was brilliant enough to gain the
audience of Kant, Goethe, and Moses Mendelssohn. In Hamann's
chaotic and long-ignored writings, Berlin finds the first strong
attack on Enlightenment rationalism and a wholly original source of
the coming swell of romanticism. Johann Gottfried Herder, the
progenitor of populism and European nationalism, rejected
universalism and rationalism but championed cultural pluralism.
Individually, these fascinating intellectual biographies reveal
Berlin's own great intelligence, learning, and generosity, as well
as the passionate genius of his subjects. Together, they constitute
an arresting interpretation of romanticism's precursors. In
Hamann's railings and the more considered writings of Vico and
Herder, Berlin finds critics of the Enlightenment worthy of our
careful attention. But he identifies much that is misguided in
their rejection of universal values, rationalism, and science. With
his customary emphasis on the frightening power of ideas, Berlin
traces much of the next centuries' irrationalism and suffering to
the historicism and particularism they advocated. What Berlin has
to say about these long-dead thinkers--in appreciation and
dissent--is remarkably timely in a day when Enlightenment beliefs
are being challenged not just by academics but by politicians and
by powerful nationalist and fundamentalist movements. The study of
J. G. Hamann was originally published under the title The Magus of
the North: J. G. Hamann and the Origins of Modern Irrationalism.
The essays on Vico and Herder were originally published as Vico and
Herder: Two Studies in the History of Ideas. Both are out of print.
This new edition includes a number of previously uncollected pieces
on Vico and Herder, two interesting passages excluded from the
first edition of the essay on Hamann, and Berlin's thoughtful
responses to two reviewers of that same edition.
