The Hedgehog and the Fox : An Essay on Tolstoy's View of History - Second Edition - Thryft

Unique insight into Tolstoy's philosophy of history.

Recommendation: "The Hedgehog and the Fox" would be a great read for anyone interested in philosophy, history, or Tolstoy's work. Isaiah Berlin's essay offers a fascinating exploration into the contradictions that exist in Tolstoy's worldview, and how these contradictions influenced his understanding of history and human nature. Berlin's writing is clear and concise, allowing readers to fully appreciate the complexity of these ideas without feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, this new edition includes helpful context and translations, making it even more accessible to a wider audience. Overall, "The Hedgehog and the Fox" is a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the intersections between philosophy and history.
