具体描述
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.
作者简介
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.

读后感
中国古人说“以史为镜，可以知兴替”。英国哲学家培根说“读史使人明智”。从古至今，人们都希望从对过往历史中汲取前人的智慧和经验，避免重蹈覆辙。所以，历代史家也会通过各种方式在编纂历史的过程中去总结经验和教训，如《史记》中，司马迁经常在文末来一段“太史公曰”，...

评分经常听周围的人说：多读历史，我们可以从历史中吸取教训与获取经验。如果再深入一点，天下万物这么多，我们到底想获取哪方面的经验。看了历史书，我们所获取的经验真的是符合现代社会的吗（这个时候，感觉就需要一个引路人帮我们解答心中的疑惑）。 看完这本书，解答了内心中的...

用户评价
极度浓缩，语言非常优雅，值得重读。| 最后两章很精彩，Durant定义"progress of history" 为"the increasing control of the environment by life"，一个很有想头的定义。| 有一点不舒服来自作者逻辑里的极度utilitarianism。
评分作者用短短一百多页的篇幅涵盖了历史的规律，荡气回肠，笔锋简洁犀利，大师范儿十足。读后令人掩卷沉思，唏嘘不已。
评分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"History can only be an industry, an art, and a philosophy"。宏观地看待/总结历史，内容不长，文笔极好，流畅精准。一些观点并不难理解（比如革命起源于经济原因，但发展取决于其他因素），也学到一些新的观点：宗教的周期性、年轻人和老人的对垒、社会财富分配的发展规律等等。作者推崇个人发展和心智启蒙。最后对历史是否在前进写了非常棒的一段话。
