Sir Isaiah Berlin is widely regarded as one of today's leading thinkers and essayists. His latest selection of essays is called The Proper Study of Mankind and covers characteristically wide territory, from philosophy and the history of thought, to individual studies of writers and intellectuals.
The collection includes his acclaimed writings on liberty and pluralism, as well as studies of such key historical figures as Tolstoy, Machiavelli, Pasternak and Churchill. Patrick
Wright examines Isaiah Berlin's output and. with his guests, considers the significance of Berlin's ideas in late 20th-century Britain. Producer Anthony Denselow
