I. Berlin and contemporary Anglo-American political philosophy

The article considers I. Berlin’s teaching as an interconnection of three basic concepts: "enlightenment / counter-enlightenment", "value pluralism" and "negative freedom as freedom from interference". It argues that Berlin''s ideas are fundamental assumptions of the six versions of modern liberalism: pluralistic liberalism, neo-Hobbesianism, liberalism of "collective reason", deliberative democracy, political democracy, J. Rawls’s political liberalism, and justificatory liberalism. The paper examines Berlin’s intellectual influences and the basic features of various theories of liberalism.
