The Lessons of History is a book by historians Will Durant and Ariel Durant.
In The Lessons of History the authors provided a summary of periods and trends in history they had noted upon completion of their momentous eleven volume The Story of Civilization. Will Durant stated that he and Ariel "made note of events and comments that might illuminate present affairs, future probabilities, the nature of man, and the conduct of states."
The book thus presents an overview of the themes and lessons observed from 5000 years of world history examined from 13 perspectives such as geography, biology, race, character, morals, religion, economics, socialism, government, war, growth and decay and progress.
William James Durant (November 5, 1875 – November 7, 1981) was a prolific American writer, historian, and philosopher. He is best known for The Story of Civilization, 11 volumes written in collaboration with his wife Ariel Durant and published between 1935 and 1975. He was earlier noted for The Story of Philosophy, written in 1926, which one observer described as "a groundbreaking work that helped to popularize philosophy."[1]
He conceived of philosophy as total perspective, or, seeing things "sub specie totius," a phrase derived from Spinoza's "sub specie aeternitatis."[2] He sought to unify and humanize the great body of historical knowledge, which had grown too voluminous and become fragmented into esoteric specialties, and to vitalize it for contemporary application.[3] Durant was a gifted prose stylist and storyteller who won a large readership in great part because of the nature and excellence of his writing, which, in contrast to formal academic language, is lively, witty, ornate and often epigrammatic.
Will and Ariel Durant were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1968 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977.
这是王岐山从哪个犄角旮旯里找出来的奇行种?本书一边定性“宗教是社会对贫穷问题的解决方案”,一边明说同性恋是罪恶(sin);还有类似于"only the man who is below the average in economic ability desires equality" 这样让人很恼火的言论。我兔腹黑!

评分文笔优美,富有洞见~
评分文笔很棒,虽说好像没什么新观点(毕竟是在1968年)。最后说历史的意义就在于把愈来愈丰富的文化传承下去,怎么说呢,总比没有意义要好。
lessons of history这本书用了大约四个小时读完了,感觉是一本不沉重没有太多思辨内容逻辑论证层次和方式都比较简单的书,整本书不仅不厚,而且以历史中例子举出来站的篇幅很大,因此整体阅读比较轻松并且速度也比较快,但是论证并不严密,更像是一本作者很主观的随笔散...
评分无法终结的历史及其常识 ——简评《历史的教训》 《历史的教训》是十一卷“世界文明史”的摘要,这本不厚的书,将作者在编纂煌煌巨著中的精华和思想托盘而出,从而塑造了全新的历史常识。与作者杜兰特几乎同时代的哲学家乔治·桑塔亚那曾说,“那些不能铭记过去的人注定要重...
评分其实,看到书名,我就产生了偏见。 这两天,我翻了一遍此书,虽说依然对其有偏见,但我对作者核心思想的认知已有所改变,觉得这本书不应该被理解为“物竞天择”的鼓吹书。我认为应该这样理解——这本书的书名叫“历史的教训”,而杜兰特在P172说了“历史是如此的丰富多彩,以至...

评分4p 犹豫:历史编纂不能算科学,只能算搜集史实的行业、将混乱的材料有意义地排列起来的艺术,以及寻求预见性观点和启蒙作用哲学。 6p 犹豫:历史与科学政治相同的是,相对性至上—一切公式皆应受到质疑。历史嘲笑一切试图强迫将其纳入理论范式和逻辑规范的举动,反动一切概括化...
