书籍简介

在以赛亚·伯林看来，人类有一个基本的区别：那些对无限多样的事物着迷的人——狐狸，以及那些将一切都与一个中心的全能系统联系起来的人——刺猬。这可以适用于伟大的创造者。但丁、易卜生和普鲁斯特是刺猬，而莎士比亚、亚里士多德和乔伊斯是狐狸。

然而，当柏林谈到托尔斯泰时，他发现从本质上讲他是一只狐狸，但从信念上讲他是一只刺猬；这种双重性是理解托尔斯泰作品的关键，阐明了他的历史哲学的一个悖论，并表明他为什么经常被同时代人和批评家误解。

For Isaiah Berlin, there is a fundamental distinction in mankind: those who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things - foxes - and those who relate everything to a central all-embracing system - hedgehogs. It can be applied to the greatest creative minds: Dante, Ibsen and Proust are hedgehogs, while Shakespeare, Aristotle and Joyce are foxes.

Yet when Berlin reaches the case of Tolstoy, he finds a fox by nature, but a hedgehog by conviction; a duality which holds the key to understanding Tolstoy's work, illuminating a paradox of his philosophy of history and showing why he was frequently misunderstood by his contemporaries and critics.

作者简介

以赛亚·柏林爵士（Sir Isaiah Berlin OM CBE FBA）（1909年6月6日-1997年11月5日）是一位俄裔英国社会和政治理论家、哲学家和思想史家。虽然他越来越不喜欢写作出版，但他的即兴演讲和会谈有时被记录和转录，他的许多口语被他自己和其他人，特别是他1974年以来的主要编辑亨利·哈迪转化为出版的论文和书籍。

Sir Isaiah Berlin OM CBE FBA (6 June 1909 – 5 November 1997) was a Russian-British social and political theorist, philosopher, and historian of ideas. Although he became increasingly averse to writing for publication, his improvised lectures and talks were sometimes recorded and transcribed, and many of his spoken words were converted into published essays and books, both by himself and by others, especially his principal editor from 1974, Henry Hardy.
