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

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...

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...

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...

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...

"History can only be an industry, an art, and a philosophy"。宏观地看待/总结历史,内容不长,文笔极好,流畅精准。一些观点并不难理解(比如革命起源于经济原因,但发展取决于其他因素),也学到一些新的观点:宗教的周期性、年轻人和老人的对垒、社会财富分配的发展规律等等。作者推崇个人发展和心智启蒙。最后对历史是否在前进写了非常棒的一段话。

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

语句考究,总体来说是充满智慧的书,值得细读。

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

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。
