In this article, we will answer the following questions: How did Immanuel Kant’s philosophy influence Isaiah Berlin’s philosophical analysis? Was it just in the methodological sense of the term? How did Isaiah Berlin integrate some of the crucial Kant’s standpoints? What are the similarities between these two thinkers? What are the main critical arguments Berlin directed at Kant’s philosophy? It turns out that there is a strong philosophical connection between the two thinkers and that the philosophical analysis of the history of ideas in Isaiah Berlin’s works owes very much to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant.
