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
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...
评分这本《历史的教训》（英文名：The lessons of History）名气很大，原因有三： 1、去年10月中央政治局专门组织集体学习吸取历史教训，总书记习近平作出重要指示：牢记历史经验、牢记历史教训、牢记历史警示，为推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化提供有益借鉴。他强调，历史是最...
评分威尔·杜兰特跟胡适是同学，都是大哲学家杜威的学生，威尔·杜兰特是美国著名学者、终身哲学教授，《历史的教训》是他与夫人合著的一本书。 在写《历史的教训》之前，从上世纪20年代末期开始，威尔·杜兰特用了50年的时间写出了11卷的《世界文明史》，内容涵盖政治、经济、军...
评分人类未从历史中获取教训 评《历史的教训》 周而复始的王朝更替，愈演愈烈的国家、民族和地区战争，预示着人类未从历史中获取教训，这就是我们从阅读历史中获得的教训。如果仅仅是这样，人类文明的发展有何意义？人类的未来是回归到衣不蔽体茹毛饮血的野蛮状态？当然不是，历史...

文笔很不错
评分极度浓缩，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。
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！
