In 1951, the philosopher Isaiah Berlin wrote The Hedgehog
and the Fox. The book divided the great thinkers of the world
into hedgehogs and foxes. Hedgehogs believed in having a big
unifying idea that explained everything. They have a single
lens through which they see the world. They can explain
everything through their ideology. Foxes, on the other hand,
pursue many different ideas. Scattered. Often unrelated. Even
contradictory. They have no single ideology or theory on how
things work. Berlin told us that, “The fox knows many things,
but the hedgehog knows one big thing”.
Dante was a hedgehog. Plato, Pascal, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche and Proust – all hedgehogs. Foxes include Shakespeare,
Aristotle, Montaigne and Joyce. Tolstoy was, according to
Berlin, a fox by nature, but believed in being a hedgehog.
