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.

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.
具體描述
讀後感
正如这本书中的前言所说的，这只是杜兰特在写作《世界文明史》的间隙里留下的随笔，书中所举的例子跨度非常大，也没有什么体系可言，能被攻讦的地方多只有多。 也正如杜兰特在序言里所说的：没人该期待一本小册子能解释历史的含义。 然而为什么这本小册子在三十年后依旧被人推...
評分阅读原文点我必看 作者简介 威尔·杜兰特，美国著名学者，终身哲学教授，普利策奖（1968年）和自由勋章（1977年）获得者。 他先后在美国圣彼得学院和哥伦比亚大学接受高等教育。后来进入哥伦比亚大学研究生物学，并在美国著名哲学家杜威的指导下攻读哲学，1917年获哥大博士学位...
評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...
評分历史的第一个教训就是要学会谦逊，人类历史只是宇宙的一瞬，一颗小行星的撞击就可能让人类全体灭绝。 飞机的发展会让地理上的限制变小，制空权在新形势下要比制海权更为重要。 弱肉强食，适者生存，生命即是竞争，竞争养分，粮食，阳光，土地和配偶，乃至上升到国与国的层次。...
評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...
用戶評價
文筆流暢，涵蓋廣泛又簡潔（因此不深入細緻），每節都用各自的綫索串連曆史，總結的教訓沒什麼特彆的洞見，所以應該是寫起來比讀起來更爽？但作為一本小書，也算比較飽滿的瞭。
评分文筆很棒，雖說好像沒什麼新觀點（畢竟是在1968年）。最後說曆史的意義就在於把愈來愈豐富的文化傳承下去，怎麼說呢，總比沒有意義要好。
评分文筆優美，富有洞見~
评分Durant's beautiful prose begs to be read aloud.
评分用一本200多頁的小冊子告訴你從整個文明史中可以總結齣什麼。
