Description:
Isaiah Berlin's The Sense of Reality made available, in the months before the author's death, an important body of previously unknown work by one of our century's leading historians of ideas, and one of the finest essayists writing in English. Eight of the nine pieces included were published here for the first time, and their range is characteristically wide: realism in history; judgment in politics; the history of socialism; the nature and impact of Marxism; the radical cultural revolution instigated by the Romantics; Russian notions of artistic commitment; and the origins and practice of nationalism. The title essay, about the impossibility of historians being able to re-create a bygone epoch, is a superb centerpiece.
