'Berlin restored the history of ideas to its true place as a key to unlock the past and explain the present. It was a notable achievement, This book sustains it. Raymond Carr, SpectatorIsaiah Berlin is regarded by many of as one of the greatest historians of ideas of his time. In The Crooked Timber of Humanity, he argues passionately, eloquently, and subtly, that what he calls 'the Great Goods' of human aspiration - liberty, justice, equality, - do not cohere and never can.

John Dunn, Times Literary Supplement'As a historian of ideas, he has no equal; and what he has to say is expressed in prose of exceptional lucidity and grace.' Anthony Storr, Independent
