Finished this
Audible overnight, enjoyed and learned much. From conclusion:
“Isaiah Berlin
was asked to compile an anthology of philosophical texts from the
Enlightenment. In his introduction he repeats his view of Enlightenment
thinkers as believing all the sciences and all the faiths, the most fanatical
superstitions and the most savage customs, when cleansed of their irrational
elements by the advance of civilization, can be harmonized in the final true
philosophy which could solve all theoretical and practical problems for all men
everywhere for all time.”
