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.

读后感
2018年读的，当时对世界历史连一知半解都谈不上，单纯觉得这书短小精悍。 最近学世界史，常常不由地想起这书的观点来。战争是常态，和平是异态。财富集中是自然趋势。平等和自由，无法兼得。能指望的最佳状态，是法律和教育机会的大致平等，希望尤在于教育。人性经不起考验。革...
评分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...
评分其实，看到书名，我就产生了偏见。 这两天，我翻了一遍此书，虽说依然对其有偏见，但我对作者核心思想的认知已有所改变，觉得这本书不应该被理解为“物竞天择”的鼓吹书。我认为应该这样理解——这本书的书名叫“历史的教训”，而杜兰特在P172说了“历史是如此的丰富多彩，以至...
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...
用户评价
文笔很不错
评分文笔流畅，涵盖广泛又简洁（因此不深入细致），每节都用各自的线索串连历史，总结的教训没什么特别的洞见，所以应该是写起来比读起来更爽？但作为一本小书，也算比较饱满的了。
评分视角牛逼，读完有一种此生何用的感觉。
评分用一本200多页的小册子告诉你从整个文明史中可以总结出什么。
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。
