This book combines for the first time three significant studies conducted by Sir Isaiah Berlin, following his scholarly plan—to explain the counterarguments to the overly scientific French Enlightenment, examining in depth and with sympathy the views of its critics.
The contentious issue between the proponents of the Enlightenment and these three critics is today as fundamental as it was then. Berlin, with his well-known approach characterized by integrity, analyzes the ideas of the three commentators and demonstrates how directly related their thoughts are to the fundamental problems of the modern world.
The valuable contribution of the editor of this important edition lies in helping the reader place the three thinkers in the correct context of the intellectual movements of their time. The biographical essays, as they appear in this volume, create a captivating presentation of the forerunners of Romanticism.
