The aim of this essay is to analyze the evolution of the Berlinian interpretation of Karl Marxâ€
™
s philosophy. In his early Karl Marx. His Life and Environment (1939)
Berlin
despite his opposition to the Russian Revolution
actually showed a sympathetic stance towards Marxâ€
™
s philosophy. Berlin shared with Marx a denial of a universal and eternal shape of human nature
as well as anti-monistic tendencies. Berlin thus shows the discontinuity between Marxâ€
™
s thought and Marxism. Nevertheless
beginning from his short visit to Russia in 1945
Berlinâ€
™
s interpretation of Marx undergoes a change. After that time
Marx appears to Berlin as the major proponent of Western Â«philosophia perennisÂ» and as the Â«great monsterÂ» embodying all the features of Soviet totalitarianism
