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.

紧锣密鼓,打鱼晒网,读到了第四部。第三部读完,给《思想史》打了五星,这五星是必须的,尽管我在书评《人之为人:想象和灵魂》中略有微词。 在人类文明的进程中,“因为某种原因,过去许多人把思想史看作一个三分体系,即围绕三段思想、三个时代或三项原则进行”。不管孔德的...
评分这套书最大的特点就是广博,以百万文字呈现泱泱几千年人类思想的发展演变历史,是一项庞大的工程。有人说更像是文献汇编,我觉得即便作为文献综述,也是高质量完成的作品。时间上从史前、古代欧亚、中世纪、文艺复兴、工业革命到现代,类型上语言、文字、宗教、科学、哲学、人...
评分 评分 评分自德尔斐神庙箴言告诫世人“认识你自己”,到大约公元4-5世纪,基督教又发展出来一种新的自我技术,叫做“述说自己”,人类在这个发展过程中不但没认识自己也没说清自己。因为要“述说自己”首先就要弄清楚自己这个主体是什么?一个有着什么样各种思想问题的主体,一个必须死磕...
