图书描述

A one-voume reference to the history of ideas that is a compendium of everything that humankind has thought, invented, created, considered, and perfected from the beginning of civilization into the twenty-first century. Massive in its scope, and yet totally accessible, A HISTORY OF KNOWLEDGE covers not only all the great theories and discoveries of the human race, but also explores the social conditions, political climates, and individual men and women of genius that brought ideas to fruition throughout history.

"Crystal clear and concise...Explains how humankind got to know what it knows."

Clifton Fadiman

Selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club and the History Book Club

著者简介

Van Doren, once editorial director of the Encyclopedia Brittanica , has produced a miniature encyclopedia, organized to show that there is progress in knowledge. He praises Columbus for giving us "a world well on the way to the unity it experiences today." India is mentioned as the source of the caste system. The Chinese gave us Confucius, but Van Doren notes their main legacy seems to be good recipes for tyranny. He warns that some good knowledge is unpleasant: we must now control our technology. Ultimately, the best knowledge for him is Western scientific knowledge since it is cumulative, meaning that better theories nearly always replace worse ones. An avid reader of Popular Mechanics who went to sleep in Peoria, Illinois in 1920 and awoke today with this book in her/his hands would probably find their ideals intact, needing only new technical knowledge and preparation for Van Doren's predicted revolt of intelligent machines. Van Doren has distilled the ideology of scientific progress into a neat, short drink that should win him a place on every library shelf.

simple and interesting. The book itself is an excellent essay featured by consistency, unity and clarity, with abundance of examples to evidence its point

作为通识百科,虽然不够客观全面,但文笔还是不错的。不过作者对于东方文明实在是缺乏了解,相关章节应归入“虚构作品”

发现好多人在找这本书,而此书还没有评论。我就先“战战兢兢”码几行字。各位亲爱的G友们,不要因为没有看这本书而烦恼。 北美范文上推荐的所有原版书我基本上都读过。 包括这一本和那本比较贵的the world's greatest ideas。 还有一堆七七八八的原版杂志。 我并不是期望看这些...
