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. 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.

中国古人说“以史为镜，可以知兴替”。英国哲学家培根说“读史使人明智”。从古至今，人们都希望从对过往历史中汲取前人的智慧和经验，避免重蹈覆辙。所以，历代史家也会通过各种方式在编纂历史的过程中去总结经验和教训，如《史记》中，司马迁经常在文末来一段“太史公曰”，...

評分这本《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...

語句考究，總體來說是充滿智慧的書，值得細讀。
评分"History can only be an industry, an art, and a philosophy"。宏觀地看待/總結曆史，內容不長，文筆極好，流暢精準。一些觀點並不難理解（比如革命起源於經濟原因，但發展取決於其他因素），也學到一些新的觀點：宗教的周期性、年輕人和老人的對壘、社會財富分配的發展規律等等。作者推崇個人發展和心智啓濛。最後對曆史是否在前進寫瞭非常棒的一段話。
评分還行寫的不錯
评分挺有意思的一本小書。Ray Dalio 在 charlie rose 訪談中推薦過。
评分作者用短短一百多頁的篇幅涵蓋瞭曆史的規律，蕩氣迴腸，筆鋒簡潔犀利，大師範兒十足。讀後令人掩捲沉思，唏噓不已。
