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.

研究历史,究竟有什么用处?这是作者在本书开头自问的问题。这一问,显示了作者的野心,表明他并不想“只是从自己的工作中找点乐子,讲讲国家与观念的兴衰,侃侃‘国王殒命的悲剧’”。除了表明野心,作者还自曝历史学研究的短处:“我们对于过去发生的认识,总是不完整的,很...

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...

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!

文笔很棒,虽说好像没什么新观点(毕竟是在1968年)。最后说历史的意义就在于把愈来愈丰富的文化传承下去,怎么说呢,总比没有意义要好。
