The Isaiah Berlin Catalogue

Four Essays on Liberty (London and New York, 1969: Oxford University Press)

• revised reprints of Political Ideas in the Twentieth Century, Historical Inevitability, Two Concepts of Liberty, John Stuart Mill and the Ends of Life, with a new introduction
• trans. Albanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latvian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbo-Croat, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian

See also the 2002 publication Liberty, edited by Henry Hardy, which incorporates Four Essays on Liberty, while adding to it a fifth essay, which Berlin wished had been published in the 1969 edition. Liberty draws together key texts on this defining subject in Berlin's oeuvre, and in practical terms it supersedes Four Essays on Liberty.
