साही और लोमड़ी
इतिहास पर तोलस्तोय के दृष्टिकोण पर निबंध: लोमड़ी कई बातें जानती है, साही एक बड़ी बात – तोलस्तोय एक लोमड़ी थे जो साही बनना चाहते थे।
परिचय
The essay grew out of a paper on Tolstoy’s view of history published in Oxford Slavonic Papers in 1951; the expanded version appeared as a small book in 1953. Its title comes from a line by the Greek poet Archilochus: the fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing. Berlin begins by playfully sorting writers into hedgehogs, who relate everything to a single vision (Plato, Dante, Dostoevsky), and foxes, who pursue many unconnected ends (Aristotle, Shakespeare, Pushkin). He then turns to War and Peace, in which Tolstoy, unrivalled at depicting the variety of life, longed for a single law of history. Berlin later said he had not meant the classification seriously, but it passed into common use.
