In this hugely ambitious and stimulating book, Peter Watson describes the history of ideas, from deep antiquity to the present day, leading to a new way of understanding our world and ourselves. The narrative begins nearly two million years ago with the invention of hand-axes and explores how some of our most cherished notions might have originated before humans had language. Then, in a broad sweep, the book moves forward to consider not the battles and treaties of kings and prime ministers, emperors and generals, but the most important ideas we have evolved, by which we live and which separate us from other animals. Watson explores the first languages and the first words, the birth of the gods, the origins of art, the profound intellectual consequences of money. He describes the invention of writing, early ideas about law, why sacrifice and the soul have proved so enduring in religion. He explains how ideas about time evolved, how numbers were conceived, how science, medicine, sociology, economics, and capitalism came into being. He shows how the discovery of the New World changed forever the way that we think, and why Chinese creativity faded after the Middle Ages. In the course of this commanding narrative, Watson reveals the linkages down the ages in the ideas of many apparently disparate philosophers, astronomers, religious leaders, biologists, inventors, poets, jurists, and scores of others. Aristotle jostles with Aquinas, Ptolemy with Photius, Kalidasa with Zhu Xi, Beethoven with Strindberg, Jefferson with Freud. Ideas is a seminal work.
Peter Watson is the author of War on the Mind, Wisdom and Strength, The Caravaggio Conspiracy, Ideas, and The German Genius. Educated at the universities of Durham, London, and Rome, he has written for the Sunday Times, the Times, the New York Times, the Observer, and the Spectator. He lives in London.

文化历来有两大主流。一个是从过去到现在都存在着一部“客观历史”,它与人类之外的世界有关,与观察、探索、传播、发现、测量、实验和操纵环境的世界有关;另一主流是探索人类的灵魂或第二自我的内心有关。首先,人类包括社会生活、政治生活的道德生活取得了确定无疑的成功,...
评分译︱郑文博 在人们看到我写的书时,往往会提出以下三个问题,或者其中一个:思想是如何吸引你的?思想史究竟是什么?思想史与政治史之间有无关联?而其中最后一个关于思想史与政治史之间是否存在关联的问题,其答案在一定程度上蕴含在前两个问题的回答中间。 常规或者说正统的...

评分用三天时间,读到《思想史》的第二部第10节。 因为有一套《最伟大的思想家》,还有一套《中国历代思想家》,所以对本书特别感兴趣。 前者,读到涉及相关作者的书时,零星的读过。因为知识储备不够,没有系统的读。而后者,疫情前就通读过。 之前,还读过《全球通史》,《西方哲...
