Berlin

I read Berlin's First and Last, which were his first and last pieces of writing. This was intellectually interesting, and the last piece, written for a Chinese audience unused to Western philosophy, was also interesting for a summary of his thought. I also read the Reith lectures, published under the titleCrooked Timber of Humanity, which was also a repetition of some earlier lectures. I also read Freedom and its Betrayal and The Proper Study of Mankind, another collection of lectures.
