In a new foreword to this corrected edition,

In this outstanding collection of essays, Isaiah Berlin, one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, discusses the importance of dissenters in the history of ideas--among them Machiavelli, Vico, Montesquieu, Herzen, and Sorel. With his unusual powers of imaginative re-creation, Berlin brings to life original minds that swam against the current of their times--and still challenge conventional wisdom.

In a new foreword to this corrected edition, which also includes a new appendix of letters in which Berlin discusses and further illuminates some of its topics, noted essayist Mark Lilla argues that Berlin's decision to give up a philosophy fellowship and become a historian of ideas represented not an abandonment of philosophy but a decision to do philosophy by other, perhaps better, means. His instinct told him, Lilla writes, that you learn more about an idea as an idea when you know something about its genesis and understand why certain people found it compelling and were spurred to action by it. This collection of fascinating intellectual portraits is a rich demonstration of that belief.

MY FAVORITE HAND LOTION FOR DECADES
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This particular version of Vaseline Intensive Care hand lotion is the best on the market. I have used it for decades, and though I have tried to other brands, keep coming back to this. It moisturizes very well, is not greasy and can be used anywhere on the body. Highly recommend!

Moisture Without the Grease
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This unscented Vaseline lotion truly provides long lasting moisture for dry skin It’s rich but absorbs quickly & doesn't leaving greasy or sticky residue. The only negative is the T-shaped pump head — I find it a bit awkward to use. Still, the formula itself is excellent.
