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
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...
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...
評分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...
評分 評分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...
用戶評價
分12個話題梳理哲學傢、政治傢、曆史學傢對相應問題的看法，也有作者們對這些觀點、議題的評述。最後一章講瞭展望。比較像文獻綜述，讀起來蠻有意思。內容打四星，語言太太太太太加分瞭，優美有力，有時又幽默俏皮。喜歡。
评分文筆流暢，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Durant's beautiful prose begs to be read aloud.
评分文筆優美 適閤大聲朗讀 真正的宏觀曆史學 十年後再讀一遍
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。
