Isaiah Berlin speaks remarkably clearly and transparently and easily to understand, better than most native English speakers, who still have yet to become as good at speaking English as him.

Thanks for making Berlin’s lectures more widely known. Very helpful.

Fantastic! I was introduced to him through Stendahl’s Red and Black. This was helpful for more information on the man and his time. Thank you 🙏🏼

What a great Bank Holiday treat! Isaiah Berlin giving his insights into Harmann and de Maistre. Thank you!

had to turn this down to 1.5x speed but its understandable enough. thanks for the upload!

Playback speed .75 makes it comprehensible. Same with Michael Segrue. Most of the others you have to turn UP to 1.25.

Thank you for this. They either speak too fast or they have a rather thick accent.

@Joseph Hofer I agree. His treatment of the continentals is similar to that of Russel! That is to say, full of malice and dishonesty!

I never realized how much of a pragmatist De Maistre was, I had a more idealized 'the last Roman aristocrat' view of him. Very interesting talk by Isaiah Berlin.

@@richardnailhistorical3445 It is U-English, namely, Upper Class English which has its own phonetic peculiarities, like other registers of the mighty Anglo-Saxon tongue. It's characterised by its perceived high speed that stems from its being clipped and to the point, the old-fashioned realisation of the [r] sound, &c. For what it's worth, it is the finest, and Englishest of English, to my mind.
