昨天和刘擎老师就本书第39页里面的一段话争论了一下午，结果发现，我们使用的是不同的版本，而且不同版本之间有不少出入。后来，我致信伯林文集编辑Henry Hardy。他告诉我，重印本会不断纠正前面版本的错误，以下是他发给我的纠正目录：http://t.cn/RlluUU7 @2017-11-08 15:24:33

伯林是个思想史的好老师，是少有的会像演讲稿一样安排内容的思想史作者，总是清晰地告诉读者他要讨论的是什么问题。最爱的一篇是The Birth of Greek Individualism. 前面的编辑手记一定要读，非常赞!

只读了其中的“两种自由”一篇。前面的梳理虽然dense，但是条理清晰，且有效地展开了两者间的张力，很厉害。就是最后强调negative liberty，并且认为这会促成文化多元，这样的论点和论述过程让我多少有些不敢恭维。其实关键还在于Berlin当时心里要解决的问题。
