English term or phrase: big slogan
an ancient saying attributed to the Greek lyric poet Archilochus (seventh century BC): “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” Hedgehogs have one central idea and see the world exclusively through the prism of that idea. They overlook complications and exceptions, or mold them to fit into their worldview. There is one true answer that fits at all times and all circumstances. Foxes, for whom Berlin had greater sympathy, have a variegated take on the world, which prevents them from articulating one big slogan. They are skeptical of grand theories as they feel the world’s complexity prevents generalizations. Berlin thought Dante was a hedgehog while Shakespeare was a fox.1*****
