The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A wise and witty compendium of the greatest thoughts, greatest minds, and greatest books of all time -- listed in accessible and succinct form -- by one of the world's greatest scholars. From the "Hundred Best Books" to the "Ten Greatest Thinkers" to the "Ten Greatest Poets," here is a concise collection of the world's most significant knowledge. For the better part of a century, Will Durant dwelled upon -- and wrote about -- the most significant eras, individuals, and achievements of human history. His selections have finally been brought together in a single, compact volume. Durant eloquently defends his choices of the greatest minds and ideas, but he also stimulates readers into forming their own opinions, encouraging them to shed their surroundings and biases and enter "The Country of the Mind," a timeless realm where the heroes of our species dwell. From a thinker who always chose to exalt the positive in the human species, The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time stays true to Durant's optimism. This is a book containing the absolute best of our heritage, passed on for the benefit of future generations. Filled with Durant's renowned wit, knowledge, and unique ability to explain events and ideas in simple and exciting terms, this is a pocket-size liberal arts and humanist curriculum in one volume.
威尔・杜兰特,是普利策奖花了50多年的时间完成了广受好评的重要著作:11卷本的《世界文明史》。他92岁时,还创作了《历史上的英雄》,这是他辉煌一生的最后作品。他的《哲学的故事》旨在让更多人了解哲学。 终其一生,杜兰特都热情地致力于将哲学从学术的象牙塔中解放出来,让它进入更多普通人的生活。在人类情谊和社会改革等出版物普遍流行之前,杜兰特就是这类著述的倡导者。通过自己的作品,杜兰特使全世界范围内的读者不断得到愉悦,也受到教益,使上百万人的生活更丰富,也使人们更宽容。

个人非常喜欢英雄崇拜,特别推崇前言的一句话—对英雄毫无禁忌的崇拜。拿这些巨人面前,我们就是侏儒。我也非常神往能像书中的一个学者一样每天晚上,都能够在偶像面前点一支蜡烛,默默地坐在他面前沉思。为自己,也为这个世界。个人最喜欢里面推荐“历史上最好的100本书”的那...
评分讀過後頗感失望。很難相信此書作者與《哲學的故事》《世界文明史》這些煌煌大著的作者是同一人。 作爲五十年致力於西方文明史的思攷的史家,作者開出的書單當然有個性、見精彩,但缺少了必要的深度和力度。尤其是沒有表現出史家應有的眼識。史識是歷史的靈魂,而威爾的歷史不乏...
评分昨晚,在东直门一商场内的“光合作用”书店闲逛,随手拿起一本《历史上最伟大的思想》。杜兰特此书早有耳闻,全拜国人常说孔子名列西方排名全球十大思想家之首所赐。 于是径直去看此书与孔子有关的一节。细读起来颇觉中西文字差异实难贯通,译者也未必真了解此书的...

评分这本书买的很莫名其妙,一直都没有读过。无意间收拾书架,所以拿出来读了一下。 虽然推荐的很多思想家和诗人都不熟悉,但是作者不愧是一个了解很深刻的人,所以推荐时采用的评定方法很不错。 遗憾的是还是翻译问题,在推荐的100本书里的作者名字和书籍名字与实际翻译名称相差...
