Opinion | The Cure for What Ails Our Democracy
  + stars: | 2024-02-15 | by ( David Brooks | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
What do we have to do to rectify this situation? Well, a lot of things, but one of them is this: More of us have to embrace an idea, a way of thinking that is fundamental to being a citizen in a democracy. That idea is known as value pluralism. It’s most associated with the British philosopher Isaiah Berlin and is based on the premise that the world doesn’t fit neatly together. We all want to pursue a variety of goods, but unfortunately, these goods can be in tension with one another.

Opinion | Can Liberalism Save Itself?
  + stars: | 2023-08-26 | by ( Samuel Moyn | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Yet just a few years later, Cold War liberalism emerged as a rejection of the optimism that flourished before the mid-20th century’s crises. This was a liberalism of fear, as another Cold War liberal intellectual, the Harvard professor Judith Shklar, said. In a way, fear was understandable: Liberalism had enemies. The Cold War changed all that. “We must be aware of the dangers which lie in our most generous wishes,” the Columbia professor and Cold War liberal Lionel Trilling explained.

Isaiah Berlin, a prominent 20th-century philosopher and historian, popularized the foxes and hedgehogs metaphor in his 1953 essay "The Hedgehog and the Fox." By understanding this metaphor, modern business leaders can harness the strengths of both foxes and hedgehogs to navigate an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. Leadership lessons from history: Xerxes and ThemistoclesExamining historical figures through the lens of the foxes and hedgehogs metaphor can provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of different leadership styles. Modern business titans: Steve Jobs and Elon MuskIn the world of technology and entrepreneurship, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk represent the quintessential hedgehog and fox, respectively. Isaiah Berlin's foxes and hedgehogs metaphor provides modern business leaders with a valuable framework for understanding and implementing effective leadership styles.

Ideologia a fost singurul principiu legitimator pentru aceste regimuri fundamental corupte, coruptive și înșelătoare. Un respectat expert în afacerile sovietice și post-sovietice, Aron este autorul unei biografii majore Boris Elțîn și a numeroase articole despre cultura politică din Rusia. Homo Sovieticus a fost expus drept un fals ideologic, opusul umanismului clasic. Cartea lui Leon Aron este o arheologie superbă a ceea ce poate fi numit matricea simbolică a revoluției lui Gorbaciov. Cartea lui Leon Aron reușește să reînvie în chip magnific ceea ce Hannah Arendt numea comoara pierdută a tradiției revoluționare.

A înțeles rolul mitului în lumea noastră secularizată, ne-a avertizat însă împotriva ispitei de a construi noi religii politice. Atunci când nu puțini au renunțat să mai vorbească despre totalitarism—conceptul a fost „denunțat” drept înfeudat logicii Războiului Rece—, a scris texte excepționale pe acest subiect. Kołakowski a înțeles că minciuna totalitară este diferită de ceea ce el numea minciună convențională. Marxismul a eșuat la nivelul propriilor sale ambiții: s-a dorit filosofia eliberării universale și a creat o sclavie fără precedent. Kołakowski a practicat mai întâi o critică de la stânga a marxismului osificat al aparatelor ideologice oficiale.
