Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Sir Isaiah Berlin NPG 5523

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Lawrence Gowing

Philosopher and political theorist. Sir Isaiah Berlin is often considered one of the greatest scholars of his generation. Intrigued by ideas, he argued for a greater understanding of the essential values of civilisation - pluralism and liberty. He was intellectually opposed to absolutisms. Among his best-known works are The Hedgehog and the Fox: An Essay on Tolstoy's View of History (1953); Historical Inevitability (1954), which codified his anti-determinist viewpoint; and Two Concepts of Liberty (1958).
