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.

评分 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”，...

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！
评分我第一次感受到了英语中的“语言优美”，不愧是大师啊喂！

评分It makes me peaceful.
评分分12个话题梳理哲学家、政治家、历史学家对相应问题的看法，也有作者们对这些观点、议题的评述。最后一章讲了展望。比较像文献综述，读起来蛮有意思。内容打四星，语言太太太太太加分了，优美有力，有时又幽默俏皮。喜欢。
