Book Reviews of The Lessons of History
Book Review: Essential for the classical education
Summary: 5 Stars
Fascinating and worthwhile. An essential read for the classical education. In this slim volume, the Durants distill the essential lessons found in their generously detailed, authoritative histories The Story of Civilization By Will Durant Complete 11 Volumes (Hardcover 1963-1975) (The Story of Civilization, Volumes 1 to 11): the fundamental principles of political systems based on observable human behavior and motivation. Will Durant remarks, as have others, that human behavior and motivation have not changed throughout human history, rather that only human circumstances have changed as knowledge and invention have accumulated. The Durants' discussions draw clear parallels between present and past developments and uncannily anticipate present developments. The audio version of The Lessons of History includes several interviews with Will and Ariel Durant. Provides an interesting adjunct and counterpoint to Rufus Fears' series on Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans (The Teaching Company).
Summary of The Lessons of History
What does history teach us? After a lifetime of research and reflection, the noted historians and authors share their profound and insightful interpretations of the most vital lessons history offers. To quote Will Durant, "The present is the past rolled up for action, and the past is the present unrolled for understanding." 2 cassettes.Music Books
