Isaiah Berlin refused to write an autobiography, but he agreed to talk about himself-and so for ten years, before Berlin's death in November 1997, he allowed Michael Ignatieff to interview him about his past, his ideas, his most intimate memories, his inner conflicts. This is an extraodinary biography, full of Berlin's own voice and presence, supplemented by untouched personal archives. It will be the authoritative biography for decades. Isiah Berlin (1909-97) was one of the greatest and most humane of modern philosophers; historian of the Russian intellgentisia, biographer of Marx, pioneering scholar of the Romantic movement and defender of the liberal idea of freedom. His own life was caught up in the most powerful currents of the century. The son of a Riga timber merchant, as a child in St Petersburg he witnessed the Russian Revolution- when his family came to England in 1921 he plunged into suburban school life and the ferment of 1930s Oxford; as a member of All Souls he was part of the British intellectual establishment. During the war, he was at the Anglo-American diplomacy in Washington; afterwards, in Moscow he saw the grim despair of Stalinism. This book is full of memora

Nicely written life of a fascinating figure

Ignatieff was Berlin’s choice for a biographer, so you’d not expect a particularly critical account of its subject’s career. What you get instead is a much more intimate picture of Berlin than in most of the usual accounts, whether favourable or the reverse. The book is especially good on Berlin’s earlier years, his childhood in Riga and Petrograd, his schoolboy career at prep school and St Paul’s, and his dazzling career as an Oxford undergraduate. It no doubt helps that Ignatieff’s father was ar school with Berlin and friends with him at NewCollege, and that Ignatieff is so conscious of his family’s Russianness. It all makes for an engrossing read.

Even though Berlin is now recognized as a public intellectual, Ignatieff presents his life the way Berlin lived it. His Jewish family in pre Soviet Russia, learning German from the merchants, running away from Lenin and the Bolsheviks, all play a key role in the man to come. His connection to the serious Russian writers, Tolstoy, Turgenev, etc., never leave him.

His Jewish tradition colors his connection to the gentile world, always preventing him from a feeling of acceptance. His English environment, which he loved, never completely smothered the Russian and Jewish influence. Produced a complex man and a facinating book.

A highlight is Berlin's visit to Soviet Russia just after the war. His experience with Boris Pasternak revealed the oppression, and compelling was Anna Akhmatova. She was the brightest star of the presoviet intelligencia. Spent all night talking and listening. Thunderstuck! The courage, the intensity, the integrity, the suffering, the endurance, affected him for the rest of his life. She wrote poetry about him that convinced any Russian reader that they were lovers (not true).

This experience, along with the suffering of others Russian writers, convinced Berlin of the basic evil of soviet communism. His academic life gradually focused on finding the cause of such evil.

More than that, he searched for the reason why the twentieth century became the worst in human history. How did the promise of the Enlightenment, with belief in universal human progress based on rational principles, bring forth Hitler, Stalin, etc.?

Visited with Pasternak who was tormented by (in his mind) compromising with the Soviets. Troubled by his being Jewish. Full of anguish and fear. . .

"Ten years later, Pasternak handed him a manuscript and said he would publish in the west whatever the consequences. Berlin went away, read the chapters and immediately knew that Pasternak's crisis of identity had been resolved. He had out all his equivocations behind him in a single act of defiance and genius: the writing of 'Zhivago' ". (147)

Suffering does not guarantee destruction of moral integrity. Maybe it can actually create it!

Another theme is Berlin's connection to Weizmann and Zionism. Jewish terrorists blew up British headquarters in Jerusalem, killing ninety one people.

"Weizmann struggled in vain to halt the the tide of Jewish terrorism. . . . Isaiah contributed a strong paragraph condemning Jewish terror: 'Terrorism insults our history; it mocks the ideals for which a Jewish society must stand; it contaminates our banner; it compromises our appeal to the worlds conscience." (177)

In 1949 Berlin at Mt Holyoke. "The root of communism lay in the eighteenth century belief - expressed in the most extreme form by Rousseau - that there is was one right way for humans to live. This belief denies that different ideals of life might not altogether be reconcilable with each other; Liberty, equality and fraternity, were beautiful but incompatible. Communism had inherited this faith and Stalin's engineers of human souls has sought to mould human beings into identical shapes. This same utopian temptation also threatened Western democracies, wherever planners believed that there must be an answer for all questions, and wherever experts conceived of society as one vast hospital and interpreted all human discontent as maladjustment." (192)

Wickedness does not exist, only sickness.

Probably Berlin's most striking insight was his analysis of Romanticism. Romanticism focused on the difference in humanity. Eventually "it is a denial of common humanity - a premise upon which all previous humanism, religious and secular, had stood." (248)

Hitler and Stalin rejected the "indivisibility of the human species. A communist true believer did not even attempt to persuade a bourgeois or aristocrat of the truth of communist principles: they were class enemies, to be re-educated or disposed of. Likewise, facists did not deign to reason with Jews, gypsies or other racial enemies. They were to be extirpated as vermin." (248)

Profound.

This work strikes a nice balance between personal feelings and intellectual ideas. Provides insight into the war and the following Cold War. Many famous men interacted with Berlin. Churchill, Burgess, Paternack, Elliott, etc., etc..

I enjoyed the clear explanation of his ideas on freedom and history.

Thirty one pages of notes, eight pages of black and white photographs and twenty five page index.

Written with a light touch, easy to absorb and enjoyable to learn.

We'll done bio and excursus on liberalism, liberty, morality and civilized debate; current Israeli politicians should review his plea for a two-state solution and all social democrats should consider Berlin's arguments on pluralism.
