More on this miniseries, here:
In this, the fourth episode of our miniseries for All About Aesthetics on Isiah Berlin's theory of Romanticism and its great effects, I discuss the many philosophic stances concerning individual had collective human conduct. We discuss the concepts of Sincerity and Authenticity, largely inventions of the Romantic revolution. Denis Diderot and Jean Jacques Rousseau's relationship and books are read as metaphors for opposing views.
The great 20th century philosopher Bernard Williams will be a guide of sorts to these discussions - the implications of which remain as powerful today, four centuries later.
