Romantic Political Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It is now a decade since the passing of Isaiah Berlin. In these ten years his industrious editor, Henry Hardy, has collected and published Berlin’s essays and a volume of letters and prepared for publication three of Berlin’s lecture series. These lecture series have been published as The Roots of Romanticism, Freedom and Its Betrayal, and Political Ideas in the Romantic Age. Although published last, Political Ideas in the Romantic Age is the first of Berlin’s explorations of Romantic philosophy. It is also the longest manuscript Berlin ever produced. (1) Drawing on his research from the 1930’s and introducing the themes of his later works, it must be considered a key work in the development of his political philosophy.
