*_Isaiah Berlin: Centennial Reflections_* *_Harvard_**_ University_**_, September 25^th -26^th 2009_* Isaiah Berlin was a unique figure in the intellectual life of the twentieth century. A famous public figure, his work on the history of ideas and political theory also made him one of the two most celebrated political philosophers of the century. To mark the centenary of Berlin’s birth, Harvard University will be hosting a two-day conference on the 25^th and 26^th of September, 2009, devoted to exploring both the historical significance and internal complexities of Berlin’s thought, and its relevance for contemporary discussions of liberty, liberalism, moral and cultural pluralism, and the history of ideas. Reflecting the range and diversity of Berlin’s own interests and accomplishments, the distinguished list of speakers is international and multidisciplinary, and thus approach Berlin from a variety of viewpoints. Speakers will include: Svetlana Boym, Ioannis Evrigenis, Peter Eli Gordon, Stanley Hoffmann, Erin Kelly, Janos Kis, Louis Menand, Pratap Mehta, Martha Nussbaum, Michael Rosen, Nancy Rosenblum, Emma Rothschild, Alan Ryan, T.M. Scanlon, Amartya Sen, Michael Walzer, and Bernard Yack.
