🤖 Why This Product Was Mentioned
"Isaiah Berlin is mentioned as the philosopher from whom the speaker borrowed the concept of the 'inner citadel' – teaching oneself to want what one can get if one cannot get what one wants. This book, being a collection of essays on the history of ideas, is a suitable representation of his work that would cover such philosophical concepts."
