Machine generated contents note: -- Explaining the Liberal Predicament * PART I: The Importance of Being Witty * A Young Boy from Riga * Becoming a Russian-Jew * The Realist Appeal * PART II: The Pink Liberal * Mr. Jericho's Piercing Eyes * 'I Never Don't Moralize' * Karl Marx * PART III: The Anti-Cosmopolitan Pluralist * Collisions * On Moses and Joshua * Shifting Horizons * 'This mighty conflict between the fantasy of Home and the fantasy of Away'.
"This study offers a fresh reappraisal of the philosopher, political thinker, and historian of ideas Sir Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) from childhood to the height of his intellectual career. It provides the first historically contextualized study of Berlin's formative years and identifies different stages in his intellectual development, allowing a reappraisal of his theory of liberalism. Applying a 'double perspective' that examines Berlin both as an East European Jewish émigré; as well as a British Liberal intellectual, author Arie Dubnov stresses the very ambivalent relation between Berlin's liberal philosophy and his pro-Zionist sentiments"--
