<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A <i>New York Times</i> Notable Book of the Year</b> <p/>"For anyone wanting to understand the twists and turns of the history of ideas, this book will be indispensable."<b>―John Gray, <i>New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/><i>The Sense of Reality</i> was the last new collection of essays published by Isaiah Berlin in his lifetime. All informed by Berlin's lifelong fascination with the history of ideas, these engaging studies range widely: the subjects explored include realism in history; judgment in politics; the history of socialism; the nature and impact of Marxism; the radical cultural revolution instigated by the Romantics; Russian notions of artistic commitment; and the origins and practice of nationalism. The title essay, taking its cue from the impossibility of recreating a bygone epoch, is a superb centerpiece. Now with a new foreword by Timothy Snyder and a new appendix comprising a previously unpublished essay on the great Russian critic Vissarion Belinksy and a previously uncollected lecture on utopianism, <i>The Sense of Reality</i> is a rich and illuminating collection from one of the most seductive writers and thinkers of the twentieth century.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Sir Isaiah Berlin was one of the leading intellectual historians of the 20th century, and this book . . . updates the context of his ideas, highlighting the relationship between the outer world and inner questions involving freedom and choice.-- "Paradigm Explorer"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Isaiah Berlin</b> (1909-1997) was one of the leading intellectual historians of the twentieth century and the founding president of Wolfson College, University of Oxford.
