Has any other philosopher done more damage to the world than Isaiah Berlin?

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 5 05:32:16 2020 No.16949687 Wasn't he just a run of the mill sperg with a fetish for german idealism and "oratoric" (populist) skills? He didn''t seem to have the capacity to understand philosophy beyond tired cliches. Basically a /lit/ poster.

More a visionary than a philosopher per se. That he saw with such clarity what he felt must come makes for fascinating reading to this day. Loren Eiseley's little intellectual biography of him is a great place to start one's study, then New Atlantis, Essays, Novum Organum....

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 5 07:55:50 2020 No.16950202 >>16950043 This. Bacon, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Spinoza are the philosophers that have 'come true,' and three of the four have to become 'more true' if there's going to be a future worth living in
