Ira Berlin May 27 1941 - June 5 2018 was an American historian professor of history at the University of Maryland and former president of Organization of American Historians. Berlin is the author of such books as Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America. In the 1930's the Works Progress Administration dispatched writers all over America to interview the last remaining black witnesses to slavery. Long ignored by historians the recordings and printed interviews gained the attention of scholars during the civil rights movement. The narratives once dismissed as historical ephemera had moved to the center of the study of slavery. Using excerpts from the thousands of interviews conducted with ex-slaves in the 1930s by researchers working with the Federal Writer's Project this astonishing collection makes available in print the only known recordings of people who actually experienced slavery--recordings that had gathered dust in the Library of Congress until they were rendered audible for the first time specifically for this collection. Heralded as "a minor miracle" Ted Koppel Nightline "powerful and intense" Atlanta Journal Constitution and "invaluable" Chicago Tribune Remembering Slavery is sure to enrich readers for years to come. "Gripping and poignant. Moving recollections fill a void in the slavery literature." -The Washington Post Book World "Chilling and riveting. This project will enrich every American home and classroom." -Publisher's Weekly "Quite literally history comes alive in this unparalleled work." -Library Journal "Ira Berlin's fifty-page introduction is as good a synthesis of current scholarship as one will find filled with fresh insights for any reader." -The San Diego Union Tribune.

Slight wear to spine covers corners & dustjacket. Light soiling to covers and dustjacket. "This collection of eight essays spans the range of Isaiah Berlin's interests including his role in the disputes of language philosophers in the 1930s his interest in political philosophy and his later attention to the history of ideas. In Berlin's preface to this collection he records his decision to abandon philosophy for history in the 1940s but by his own definition of philosophy given in the first essay "The Purpose of Philosophy" he continued to be a philosopher par excellence radically questioning the models or categories by which human beings understand their world. Berlin sees this as the perennial task of the philosopher which he recognises as "agonising and thankless" and one he takes up in this collection with analyses of "Verification" and "Equality". It is doubtful now whether Berlin's view of philosophy would be taken as an exhaustive account of the enterprise especially with the flourishing in the last 25 years of applied ethics and political philosophy and it seems reasonable to suppose that philosophy will continue to involve speculative work about the proper ends of human life as well as logical analysis. Berlin's paradoxical contribution evident in this collection was that in committing himself to a life of radical questioning of concepts and categories he in fact proposed a purpose for life namely the creation of a society that would not be duped by incoherent and idealistic models of the world. Radical philosophical questioning that drive for clarity in language and for models of the world that are capable of empirical testing is not in such circumstances the Sisyphean endeavour it might otherwise appear."
