Synopsis "Sobre el Nacionalismo (in Spanish)"

El presente volumen reúne por primera vez en nuestra lengua los principales ensayos en los que Isaiah Berlin aborda la cuestión del nacionalismo, y se complementa además con una entrevista concedida por el autor al hilo del mismo asunto. «El nacionalismo es sin duda la más poderosa y quizás la más destructiva fuerza de nuestro tiempo. Si existe el peligro de aniquilación total de la humanidad, lo más probable es que dicha aniquilación provenga de un estallido irracional de odio contra un enemigo u opresor de la nación real o imaginario […]. Quizás la humanidad viva lo suficiente para ver el día en que el nacionalismo parezca absurdo y remoto, pero para ello deberemos entender lo y no subestimarlo; y es que aquello que no es comprendido no puede ser controlado: domina a los hombres en lugar de ser dominado por ellos.» «durante siglos, los liberales pensaron que el nacionalismo era una especie de apego irracional que se debilitaría a medida que las personas se volviesen más racionales y cosmopolitas y estuviesen más conectadas. Pero Berlin nos advirtió de que, por el contrario, dicho nacionalismo sería la previsible respuesta al crecimiento de la globalización.» fareed zakaria, the Washington post «la mejor guía para nuestro presente e inesperado encuentro con el nacionalismo.» Robert zaretsky, foreign policy

Isaiah Berlin (1909–1997) was an influential British philosopher and thinker of Latvian origin, known for his contributions to political theory and the history of ideas. Born in Riga, Latvia, his family emigrated to England in 1921. He studied at the University of Oxford, where he became a fellow of All Souls College and New College, and also founded Wolfson College. During World War II, he worked as a diplomat in Washington and Moscow. He was president of the British Academy from 1974 to 1978 and received various awards for his intellectual work.

His most famous essay, The Hedgehog and the Fox (1953), interprets Leon Tolstoy's view of history through an Archilochus metaphor: “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” Berlin classifies thinkers into two types: the "hedgehogs," who structure their worldview around a single central idea, and the "foxes," who have a more scattered and multiple perspective. According to Berlin, Tolstoy embodies both roles: by his talent, a fox; by his convictions, a hedgehog.

This essay has become an essential work for understanding the different approaches to thought and history.
