Political Theory and Philosophy in the Proper Sinn

Some of berlin's more savage critics said political theory as an extension into the elysian fields of high table gossip. What you'd have would be absolutely nothing more than personal impressions, he says. He finds machiavelli really rather engrossing. I say nothing against gossip. At least i'd better not think of john aubrey's wonderful brief lives turned into roy dotress's amazing stage performance. And yet again, think of what tom stoppard does with a marvellous decade. These lectures didn't introduce belinski, herzen agarriof and their contemporaries to the english for the very first time. Think of it, about that.
