Berlinski is an awful writer. I read two of his books; both were poorly written and uninformative.
Duplicate thread.
From a Mathematical Reviews comment about another of Berlinski's books (Newton's gift): "But what is said of Newton's mathematics has only a weak connection with Newton's texts."

You miss the point. It looks like he matured and "got better."
