The Hedgehog and the Fox: An Essay on Tolstoy's View of History - Second Edition by Isaiah Berlin

2.0

This is technically a three-star read because I WOULD recommend it to someone. However, because I haven't read WAR AND PEACE (or any Tolstoy) it doesn't feel right to give this that ranking. It's not to say I couldn't follow Berlin's essay; rather, I felt I was doing myself a disservice by trying to engage with it without having read the source material it's based on. That said, the hedgehog/fox categorizations remain ever relevant and compelling to think about, and Berlin's writing is easily digestible and even playful. Will have to return to this in the future
